It doesn't matter who owns it, the fact that it exists and that people can privately purchase and own stock of private companies is completely at odds with the concept of communism.

Under communism there is no ownership of land, factories, companies etc, they all belong to the state. There's no share of ownership to be bought and sold, and therefore, there can be no stock market.

Yes it does as that is what defines communism ... since the equity market is owned, managed by the state then its communism

In a communist country there would be no equity market to begin with.

This is perhaps the third time I've said this, but under communism there is no private ownership.

In China there are many examples of private ownership. Shares of a company is one.
