Ouch, that's the worst of both worlds approach. Insecure and you get all of the work to re-port the code regularly.

>and you get all of the work to re-port the code regularly.

Secure job though, with predictable repeatable work.

Aren't you always guaranteed (and required to have) a job in China? That's how it was in Eastern Europe before the fall.

[faitswulff]

Not anymore. That was known as the "iron (rice) bowl," but that governmental job security has long since been removed from most positions.

[imron]

No. It hasn't been that way in China for maybe 30 years now.

[TomMarius]

Oh, okay. Which part? Both, or just the compulsory employment?

[imron]

Both. China is not really a communist country anymore except in name.

I know it's not really socialist/communist anymore, I just wasn't sure about the extent. Thank you for your time!

China is very much communist. It's very different than 19th and 20th century communist state, but the US looks very different than a 19th and 20th century capitalist state.

The Chinese governmental structure is very much communist. The ideals in the propaganda are communist. The goverment has strong control of their citizens, controlling how many children they can have, which city they can live in, etc.
