I just think it's easier to call China a totalitarian capitalist state, without torturing other labels to make them fit.

I think calling them capitalist doesn't involve much less "torturing labels" than calling them communist.

Ok fair enough. What is it about China that makes it explicitly not capitalist?

Since it's absolutely not communism, what makes it absolutely not a capitalist economy?

There's a ton of state ownership of industry, particularly manufacturing, and land is strictly controlled.

That's why I called it "mixed-command".
