In last issue's "A Rebuttal of 'Capitalism was Built for Dictatorship,'" Kyle Kraus uses China as an example of a command economy to support his argument. This is problematic because China is not a command economy. While China used to be a command economy under Mao Zedong, it is now a mixed economy that relies on both free market mechanisms and government regulation. This transition came through the 1970s and ’80s as China incorporated elements of a free market into its economy. One-party Communist rule is not synonymous with command economy.
