Hehe the Chinese are barely socialists these days, its more of a semi-benign pseudo-military dictatorship.

Just because it isnt a democracy doesnt mean its a Communist/Socialist Society.

I'd be worried too if someone who owed me a lot of money decided it was a good idea to spend twice again as much before paying me back. No, actually - I'd be pissed.

It still has a large number of parallels to the old Soviet Society, and a ruthless government.

The Chinese have traditional Communist characteristics as demonstrated by their restrictions on political free speech and lack of democracy, but have an anti-socialist economy relying almost entirely on market forces.

There was a good report on the BBC world service this morning on Chinese healthcare. They have American style medical insurance and as a result despite having excellent medical facilities in cities, the rural poor who generally cannot afford insurance are subject to dirty, basic and often alternative practises. In particular there is a lack of coordination between primary health-care and specialists, a typical problem with privately run systems.

This is quite a good series for those interested in the private v public funded healthcare debate in different countries.
