A good example is one of the Chinese Communist Party's top dogs, who $14.5 billion was recovered from (and his family) in a corruption probe [1].

Or Xi Jinping himself, whose family has amassed $1 billion+ [2] despite his modest $22,000 salary.

China is only communist in name. It’s like a state calling themselves paradise. Call it what it is, a dictatorship.

Personal opinion: Communism is impossible (in the foreseeable future)
