so communism is but an ephemeral and insignificant given the lengthy and turbulent history of China. It's only been around for roughly 70 years compared to the backdrop of many millenias.

Democracy has been in America for well over a 100 years, so it has china beat.

If we're going to play this game: 243 years to be more precise. While communism as a nascent ideology was only invented in 1848... (that's 171 years). 97 years in place as an established government if you count what the USSR called communism as such...and yes ~70 years since the end of the Chinese Civil war.
