as reforms progressed, why did the USSR collapse but Communist China succeed? what lessons did China under Deng learn from Gorbachev's mistakes? What are the states of their economies today? What kind of social changes has market reform instituted for both of these countries?

Ok i'll do your homework for you. The USSR collapsed because western culture infiltrated their society, people wanted the freedoms they were seeing in the west and questioned if Communism was in the right. Also Communism can't keep up with capitalism. The U.S. economy outpaced the USSR's and began to militarize at such a rate the communists couldn't keep up and went bankrupt. China is succeeding because they're not a traditional communist state. They're basically half capitalist half communist, but if they continue to oppress their people the PRC government might be in for some trouble. Post communism Russia's economy has never recovered. Russia's economy is still small but is showing signs of growth and is projected to start growing at a pretty rapid rate in the future.
