China Communist or Not?

Interestingly, the constitution of the People’s Republic of China, PRC, does not explicitly state that the communists rule the country, the relationship is more tangentially associated. But, in China, the communist party does rule, and in matters of security etc. it rules with an iron fist.

^“ the CPC’s position as the supreme political authority and power in the PRC is realized through its control of all state apparatuses and of the legislative process.^{[2]” from wiki}

Oh yeah, it controls the military too
