http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism >Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a concept used to describe political systems where a state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private life. The term is usually applied to Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany,Sh?wa Japan or communist states, such as USSR, Democratic Kampuchea, Vietnam, Mao-era and modern China and North Korea. Totalitarian regimes or movements maintain themselves in political power by means of an official all-embracing ideology and propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that controls the state, personality cults, central state-controlled economy, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread use of terror tactics.
Not only the article makes a specific mention of China as totalitarian, but lists the characteristics of these type of states, and China fits every single one of them, even if their economy is not as centralized as it used to be.
I'm>>300176by the way, again not a "yank". China is much more mild than North Korea, but that doesn't mean its not totalitarian as well.
