No, people witnessed this portion of history 50s and 60s.

Hey, did you hear? Queen Mary II sailed across the Atlantic, just like Columbus 500 years ago! :shocked:

I think it's a pretty huge stretch to believe that China is still communist when it has a Gini coefficient (wealth disparity index) higher than that of the US.

:laugh: I think maybe the idea he was trying to get across there, is that China can be less communistic than we really think, you can't compare China to the Soviet union for example, China has way too much western influence into it than we think and the differnce that it has with the Soviet Union is that it's existance and economy is dependent on the west the same way the west depends on China, while in the case of the Soviet Union it was a pretty much sealed Iron Curtain.

It is not likely they are going "where no man has gone before".
