Chinese people generally are not allowed to own land. Most people are renters from the state. That doesn't sound very capitalist to me.

Chinese workers are powerless and sometimes even suicidal. That definitely sounds like capitalism to me.

The capitalist exploitation of the working class comes in many forms, in China it just doesn't involve market mechanisms.
