I wasn't aware that Chinese citizens owned the means of production ;) just looks like another authoritarian dictatorship to me.

Guess they never really tried it.
One could argue that the only system under which a citizen can own the means of production is capitalism. If you "own" something you can sell it, trade it, and otherwise use it as you wish. In any realistic version of communism these powers are transferred to a central authority instead.
