The Chinese government did a lot of smart policies, empowering their people to unleash their entrepreneurial drive, helping them with targeted investment where that was deemed to get good long term/strategic payoff. This was not passive 'let them do what they want', it was (and still is) an actively guided process - there is enough information about that in the net.

It also failed in many ways, but overall influence is highly positive, the results speak for themselves.

Failing to see that is a sign of ideological blindness.
