While China is still ruled by a political party named the Communist Party of China, many changes were made to the system. One noticeable change is the idea of a "free market" implemented by Deng Xiaoping. He opened up the nation to foreign investors. This was a key step towards the growing country we see today. Without foreign investments from the United States or Europe, China would be going backwards. It depends on your criterion.If you judge China from politics,however, calling China a communist nation still fits. For example, the media is still heavily blocked. In fact, CCTV, a state-owned TV program is censored to fit the government's interests. The current president, Hu Jintao, actually strengthened censorship after arriving in office. Also, land still belongs to the nation. If you judge China from economy or popular culture,there is no difference in general.Most of youth favour theInternet more than TVs and the censorship is negligible on the internet.

For many years American referred to the peoples' Republic of China As Communst China why would that label be misleading today?
In actual fact, the ruling party of China is still the CCP or Chinese Communist Party. However, the practise of free and open markets since the opening up of China by Deng Xiaoping in 1979 has gone against the Communist form of a closed economy. At the same time, the gradual opening up of political "democracy" has seemed to gone against communism. As Wen Jiabao admitted, there is a need to move to a democracy (however note: this move would be gradual, considering that a democratic reform could threaten the CCP's legitimacy). E.g. of democratisation: Village elections.

What conflict was fought between the democratic republic of this country - and its communist allies - and the republic of this country and its allies namely the US?

The super-powers representing the communist nations were, The Soviet Union (Russia) and Red China (Communist China). There was NO war going on between these super-powers...so it was called a "cold war." The communist super-powers were supporting a smaller country to fight in their place, and that was North Vietnam. This fight (war) was "HOT". "Hot" meaning real bullets and bombs, real killing, and real buildings being destroyed. In a "cold war" no one gets hurt, no buildings are damaged, real bullets are not used (blanks are used during manuevers). The allies, consisting of the US, South Vietnam, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, and the Philippines were fighting (in a "Hot") war against North Vietnam and the Viet Cong (VC-communists living in South Vietnam), who were SUPPLIED with aircraft, tanks, AK-47's, artillery, Surface to Air Missiles (SAM's), patrol boats, etc. from the Communist Super-Powers of the Soviet Union & Red China.
