Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 14 page paper considers whether or not China is a socialist country. The paper starts by considering the model of socialism, with specific interest paid to modern socialism as proposed by Karl Marx. The paper applies these ideas to China and the development that has taken place since 1978 and the opening up of the Chinese markets. Many commentators have argued the developments of opening the market are a move towards capitalism, but we can also put forward a strong argument that this is a new form of socialism that is emerging. The bibliography cites 12 sources.
