Of course, China is not a "communist country" in the sense that it has achieved communism - in that sense, "communist country" is a contradiction in terms and no country could ever be communist, because communism is stateless. When people describe countries as communist, what they mean is that the leaders profess belief in communist ideology, that is, a country that is run by communists.
