First, China never was truly communist. It was 'communist' in the twisted definition that the state owned the resources and means of production, but that's not Marxism by any stretch - that's state capitalism, which is not the same thing as a planned economy (and neither of which is the the same thing as Marxism).
Second, China has not been 'communist' (note the scare quotes) for many years now.
Third, there certainly are many people starving in China, just as there are people starving in some part of pretty much any society. I find it entirely believable that there are people who one day's worth of unemployment away from starving in China. For that matter, I would have no trouble believing the same about a capitalist country like the US, or the socialist countries in Europe/South America.
