Commies are so bizarre. Hu is saying that communism is still the ‘correct road’ for China, but honestly. when is communism ever the right way to go?

“Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the logical and correct choice for China to further realize national rejuvenation, prosperity of the country and happy lives for the people,” he said. The Chinese leader also said “socialism is in a constant development process.”

“As practices of socialism with Chinese characteristics keeps growing, so will our understanding of the laws of socialist construction,” said Hu.

“We should apply these laws creatively to guide the study and solving major problems in China’s reform, opening up and modernization, make our thoughts and acts better conform with actual realities, conditions of the state, requirements of the times and the aspirations and interests of the people.”

Ah, the time-honored aspirations and interests of the people by the Chinese government.

UPDATE: Speaking of which, this is how China treats mourners for Zhao. If I had to take a crazy guess, the aspirations of the people don’t seem to coincide with those of the Communist Party.
