China is showing that its economic system is increasingly fascist despite the claim that it is trying to get back to socialism basics.
The ruling Communist Party is tightening political control over China’s internet giants and tapping their wealth to pay for its ambitions to reduce reliance on U.S. and European technology. ...
Chinese leaders don’t want to reimpose direct control of the economy but want private sector companies to align with ruling party plans, said Lester Ross, head of the Beijing office of law firm WilmerHale.
No direct control of means of production? Direct control is socialism.
Control of the subjects who "own" the means of production to make sure the companies serve the party?
In service of a party that suppresses dissidents, is arming up rapidly, has more territorial ambitions, and ethnically cleanses non-Hans?
Sounds fascist to me.
