    Also that the people's republic of china now has more private businesses then state, allows for private ownership of land.

    Bah! It's all a bunch of price-system hodge-podge in the end.

    While I love arguing with quasi-religious communists such as yourself, remember that a state run monopolies are the antithesis of a free market.

    I'd be insulted by that statement if it had enough grammatical corrections for me to understand it in its entirety, I'm sure.

    If China is socialist in anyway, point to me to how workers own and operate the means of production. I can point to how the capitalists own and operate the means of production.

    The hypothesis was "China is the world most capitalist nation", Ler says capitalism is a free market. Therefor China must have the freest market. This statement is blatantly false so Ler's hypothesis is false.

    Doesn't make Ler's hypothesis false, just his argument for it. It's like if I said The sun comes up every morning because Apollo pulls it across the sky every morning. The sun doesn't come up every morning because of a Greek god, but it still comes up every morning, which is the main portion of the hypothesis. There's some sort of fancy debate/argument term about this that I'm sure Kali would know, but I'm on 3 hours of sleep and I was barely able to update my facebook status this morning so you're not going to get that kernel of wisdom just yet.
