      china has embraced capitalism

      China's following the Marx playbook of capitalism as transitional state. It continues to make national five year plans, oppose colonial exploitation, and keep a tight political grip on business in a way Americans have never done.

      You can argue how, exactly, we count a public-private conglomeration operating under a nationalist agenda. But this isn't American-style Capitalism.
