Topolanek is the head of the *right wing* Czech party, and while China still has a fair amount of state intervention in its economy, calling it a "communist" economy in anything but the name of the Party just isn't accurate. (And, for that matter, China's complaints as you describe them are not "free your markets" but "don't devalue your currency to help your economy," which is pretty funny given the amount of intervention in the exchange rate of the yuan they've engaged in over the past twenty years.)Charles Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673209470354488997noreply@blogger.com
