For the record, the level of control China holds on it's people is still well in the boundaries of communism. They have a "Marxism-Leninism" type of government. Which is a communist ideology. (Wikipedia)

They chooses what the people do and do not see. They we're cutting out all of the news about Libya from the Internet while it was going on. Nowadays if even clothing is too "western" they won't allow retailers to provide it. While the few benefit from the many the whole time.

It's doing them alot of good, in the terms of the very top who receive all the profits. China chooses and eliminates media and any other items that it doesn't feel suitable for it's people. China voted to keep the UN from helping China, because they, along with Russia are trying to send the message that the government can control the people. Now people in Syria are having loved one's strapped to tanks while they are gunned down in the street.

Calling China a communist country is a joke. And they don't support Syria, they just don't want anyone interfering in anyone else's business, because it causes instability and is bad for business.

Communism, as it existed in the 1950s, is dead. The only living example of a true communist state is N. Korea, and look how much good that's doing them.

Maybe Russia is more of an obscured form of socialism but even so Communism is stronger then ever in China and North Korea, and in the state the world is in, with Russia and China backing Syria, North Korean labor camps in Russia, and Russia's support of Iran in the even of a US invasion, China is eliminating western media like crazy right now, Although I don't disagree with the decisions Truman could have made, he only postponed World War 3.

@Phead128

For the decision at that time I agree morally about his decision, especially with everything he knew then, I just don't think he saw how China would grow into the threat and dependency that it is today. But even so, I agree with you.

@andrelebaron

What? Communism never collapsed especially in China, right now China is eliminating most of the western media it use to air, and is backing the Syrian regime which is another oppressive government. Communism did not collapse by ANY means.

I feel bad for those little kids :(

[andrelebaron]

@talonpop Truman was looking at the big picture. He said all we need to do is hold the line and eventually communism will collapse and we won't need WW3 and billions dead to do this. And he was right.

When it listed the combatants, the video failed to mention a small number of Soviet pilots who flew under North Korean colors. Thought it was worth mentioning.

@talonpop

China and Soviet Union had an alliance, and Truman didn't want anything to go beyond a proxy war... since WW2 was pretty recent, an attack on China would have ensured a Soviet attack on Western Europe, or so the British PM thought...
