Outside view says country being "Communist" or not is pretty much irrelevant.

OK, in that case - why are we assuming the CPC has anything to do with the success and so donating to it could have any effect to begin with?

What do you mean? CPC is the single most successful government in history.

Lack of correlation between "Communism" and economic growth matters as much as lack of correlation between country's position in alphabet and economic growth.
