Not so much [[Dirty Communists]] here, although you will get [[Renegade Chinese]]. China becomes a rich, well-developed country, but still prone to torture and general international shadiness, although not on pre-79 levels. Many things are still [[Banned in China]], though usually available through bootlegged media. Also notice that since China has lately acquired a huge potential as a consumer market for Western media, it makes almost no business sense to offend their powerful censorship by casting China as the villain.
 
Why 1979, you may ask? Though China did start to open to the world in 1972 after [[Richard Nixon]] visited China, [[Mao Ze DongZedong]] had a stranglehold on power until his death in 1976, and supported the most radical politics in China. Immediately after he died, those radical elements were arrested, and Deng Xiaoping made a grab for control of the Party. The economic reforms he implemented starting in 1978 turned China from a sclerotic command economy into a supercharged powerhouse.
