The fact is, as David Graeber observed, every country has a mix of capitalist and socialist aspects. Taking a loose definition of “socialism” as helping each other. (To each what he requires, from each what he can provide) Without such impulses society would quickly fall apart.

China can be characterized as a state capitalist society with quite a high degree of control and abuses, but some degree responsibility to its citizens too.
