The Democratic Socialist Party of China seem to be using this website just for "social democratic" campaigning. As a quick glance at their website reveals they seem to think China is "communist" and moving to some new command economy which they still don't think is capitalist. China has never been a communist society and has a state capitalist mode of production. It is not even the result of a failed proletarian revolution as occurred in Russia. Indeed in its Maoist version Stalinism has enjoyed enormous support in the ex-colonial countries whose nascent bourgeosies sought to escape from imperialist domination. In fact all they did was swap one form (western) of domination for another. What is happening today is that the same CP ruling class is now changing the character of the CHinese economy to benefit from inward investment which is sloshing around the planet in the form of speculative capital. The result has been that the Chinese state has accumulated a vast amount of capital (on the back of its share of the loot from the suerp-exploitation of the Chinese proletariat) which via its "sovereign investment fund" it is now able to indulge in its own imperialist forward policy in Africa and elsewhere.

This is the sort of thing we should be discussing with Chinese workers and not democratic campaigns on the Olympics!
