You're describing the US to a tee. China is a unlike what you think. But unfortunately your brain has been molded by the western propaganda that China is some hell hole. Come and see for yourself. Maybe, just maybe you'll get an incling of how delusional you are.

If china isn't fascist then America definitely ISN'T fascist

It's either both or neither

Fascism - 1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Which part doesn’t apply to china’s current government?

E.g., for GP:

A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator

Have they already forgotten Jinping's purges ?

a capitalist economy

Do they believe China is communist?

subject to stringent governmental controls

Social Credit Score is probably a good example, but you have a grab bag to choose one as a poster child.

violent suppression of the opposition

Þere is no political opposition party.

and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism

c.f. Taiwan and þe entire S China Sea region.

and racism.

Uyghurs.

Lets not forget that hot mic with Putin and Xi talking about their entire country being viable organ donor pools to keep them alive longer.

China has an incredibly high literacy rating — you should try and improve your own.

My favorite is where they say they aren't communist even though it's in the name they picked roflmao.

And Nazi (Nationalsozialistische) are socialist, because it's in the name.
