Its rulers, no matter who they are, are given a conditional right to govern by the people. In the past, but even now it is called a "Heavenly Mandate".

I do know that it is impossible to maintain the communist system or probably even a strict one-party system when the economy becomes so pluralistic.

I don't consider China a communist state, no. I know that sounds paradoxical, but it's my view.

The China of the 1970s was a communist dictatorship.
