"The organization is still named the Chinese Communist Party and they still run 100% of Chinese politics even if they no longer act like communists."

Not true. First of all the business is called socialism with chinese characteristics, which means they're all for making money and profit, but they also want to put their stamp of approval.

Second of all, of course they run the politics, the party is quite big. And the party itself has several different schools of thought, some of which are as far from communism as it can get... well not literally but still.

I think it's a better sign. Sure, it's whitewashing, but hey, better to have colorful pictures of economy than black and white pictures of Mao and the need to praise his ass.
