Seriously, not liking China because it is communist is a pretty Cold War era way of thinking. There are LOTS of reasons to not like it, record on human rights, abysmal environmental practices, the list goes on. But for being "Communist" ? Not so much...
On March 4, 2003, I had the chance to hear Mr. Masahiro Yashiro (then president and CEO of Shinsei Bank) give a presentation at the Foreign Correspondents? Club in Tokyo. In the Q&A session, he was asked this question: ?Do you think that the current pace of financial deregulation in Japan is appropriate??
	He answered:
	    ?I recently had lunch with a few of our young guys, one from India, one from China and the third, Japanese. The woman from India asked me the exact same question. I told her that if the current pace of financial regulation in Japan were to continue, then in 10 years from now only three communist countries would be left in this world: China, Cuba, and Japan?.  Said the Chinese: ?With all due respect, Sir, in 10 years there will be only two, Cuba and Japan. ? So, the short answer to your question is ?no? (smile).?
