Nothing - because once it embraced some of the principles of Capitalism, it was only THEN that it became a world power.
Pure Communism went till about 1978, the result? Millions dead from Starvation (see the Great Leap forward and the Great Chinese Famine)
After 1978 when they allowed Private enterprise, Foreign investment and de-collectivized Agriculture, it's now a weird bastardized hybrid.
TL;DR - Communism failed so badly it needed Capitalism to rescue it.
Fuck me, do you even History?
Not to mention the whole Brutal Dictatorship of Chairman Mao...

Which failed, miserably, until rescued by Capitalism.
Considering one of the key tenants of Communism is collective ownership and a rejection of capitalist private enterprise, you can't have both - which is why they are referred to as a Socialist state.
Both instances (Vietnam and China) went through a period of a Failed economy with brutal repression at the hands of Dictators.
Perhaps it is you who needs to go back and read the question again.

The Yanks & the Europeans had actually crippled Japan before that happened with sanctions imposed on them because of what had been going on between Japan & China for decades prior.....Pearl Harbour was a last desperate lash out because they were nigh on fucked by the sanctions and the country was desperate.
ha yeah it pretty much depended on who was flavour of the month![]()
Just the same as the yanks were the number one support for the germans after WWI giving them monetary support after the treaty of versailles crippled them.
That's where Putin & China have got a few clues currently saying the talk of imposing more sanctions wont do any good....a bit of foresight to stop history repeating itself
