Question

How do communist nations like Russia and China produce so many private billionaire capitalist businessman?

Answer 1

China and Russia are not communist countries any more, they are pseudo-capitalist.  

Answer 2

Man, communism died more than 20 years ago. Wake up and smell the coffee! It's capitalism now in Russia!

And China is just exporting so much to the USA, so it's natural that some people make huge money on the process.

Answer 3

Because they are no longer fully communistic.

They've included capitalistic ideals into their economy.

Most of the country is still oppressed w communistic rule, but free trade is increasing drastically.

Answer 4

Well when the Soviet Union collapsed all these Russian businessmen became part of the free trade union. Many of the oil companies became free from government control and therefor the profit was private and neednt be shared with the government. Russian organized crime consists of many of these billionaires and ex KGB officers.
