Other governments do, but not as much as China does.

Healthcare in South Korea for example is government managed and it is one of the best healthcare in the world.

I believe utility companies are also government owned.

Also some of the well known companies now were practically government owned during the Park dictatorship in the 70s.

I wouldn't use the term "Flourish" as what you hear and see is strictly controlled

Doubt it is best. Taiwan China and Singapore easily better than SKorea. Singapore is more unique where everything is resources tight they still able to create that system.
