what part of china is not communist

China as a whole is ruled by the Communist Party, so there isn’t a part of mainland China that is “not communist” in the political sense. Taiwan is the main place people mean when they ask this, but it is not part of the People’s Republic of China and has its own government and political system.

What people usually mean

• Mainland China : governed by the Chinese Communist Party.
• Taiwan : self-governed, democratic, and not under PRC control.
• Hong Kong and Macau : not communist in the everyday sense people often mean, but they are special administrative regions of China and still under Beijing’s sovereignty framework.

Simple answer

If you mean “which part of China is outside communist rule,” the closest answer is Taiwan , but strictly speaking it is not a part of the PRC. If you mean within China’s borders, then there is no fully non-communist region.

Quick note

This question can get politically sensitive because “China” can mean the PRC, Greater China, or the Chinese cultural sphere, and the answer changes depending on which one you mean.
