Prior to the communists regime China was a feudal country the same as Britain was centuries ago, and long before Britain ever was .communism which many deplore which was the first of governments to rule outside the old system pulled the population into a bit better living conditions, regardless of the reputation they have accrued over the years.The same as Russia which much later had the people’s revolt in the 20th. Century which deposed the ruling government , and this should be called what it really was , a peasants uprising. If every country stayed behind its own borders and minded their own evolution as to how they lived, and not wanted to impose their will on others , the world might be a better place to live. JS
