It's more capitalist than communist but you'd have to be deranged to claim it's the "most capitalist" country.

Please don't call me deranged. How much do you know about China?

As vague and imprecise as the term "most capitalist" is, it is a blatant ignorance of the way Chinese people (have to) live, especially in cities, to think that it isn't a consequence of an extreme form of capitalism: enormous gaps between the wealthy and the poor and materialism.

China is as much a communist country as Congo is a republic.

Edit: Reading the other comments, it seems like we might all value different aspects of the country to define whether it is capitalist.
