China is Corporatist Not Communist

Many writers still refer to China’s 'Communist political system.' Actually, China has a Corporatist system. It is not classless socialism, instead using corporate business as its method for ruling their country.
The corporate state (Fascism) is totalitarian, not only telling its people what not to do (authoritarianism) but also what to think, do and say.
China is having difficulty maintaining total control over all aspects of society, trying to stay ahead of global changes in information technology. It is a deteriorating totalitarian state, yet still formidable.

If any ruling class is capable of adapting to challenges and maintaining control, it is the Chinese. They have proven themselves to be a particularly pragmatic people that have survived and even grown through the millennia.
