All sections of the IFLT believe that capitalism has been restored in China. They disagree, however, on whether China has joined the ranks of the world's imperialist powers. The majority's documents on China can be found on pages 45-53 of International Workers Organizer No. 1, part 2, and pages 30-31 of International Workers Organizer (inaugural issue, Sept. 2008). (As of March 7, 2010, these documents are no longer available on our website.) The documents listed below present the position of a minority of IFLT sections, consisting of HWRS and the CWG-NZ, who believe that China has become an imperialist country.
