Everywhere else communism and Islam are friends so why in China they are enemies?

Your statement is wrong in two ways.

1) Communism and Islam can by no means be considered "friends", reason being the antireligious policies that are inherent in Communism. You should read less Breitbart.

2) China can hardly be considered a communist country, it has been turning rapidly more capitalist ever since the official introduction of the 中国特色社会主义 theory in 1987.

Google translates that as: > Socialism with Chinese Characteristics

What does that mean? I had guessed you were referring to special economic zones, but that predates 1987. Thanks in advance.

Basically, it is the theory China used in order to justify the switch to State Capitalism. Here's more on the theory:
