Communism is not the same as atheism. Communism has no bearing on belief or disbelief in deities. But the communist regime of the former USSR did see religion as a threat (and with good reason, the church propagates the same hive mind as communism wants to obtain). Communist China does allow for religions, but the Tibetan monks for instance who are lobbying for independence from China are indeed being persecuted. That is a political decision, and has nothing to do with persecution of believers but with rebellious elements that the Chinese government wants to get rid of. China has had a long track record of breaking human rights agreements, whether the ones being arrested believe in deities or not, is not relevant.
But you know all this, why do you ask?
