Not really to be honest. They're an authoritarian regime, but they do a lot of social policies. It's a weird mix but not a new one.
Turns out when you run a government like a corporation properly, you can think about long-term profits instead of only next quarter. It isn't fully-automated luxury gay space communism, but it's a hell of a lot better than neoliberalism.
It is indeed a weird mix in China, but I had not expected this one. Its a law that could be useful everywhere, even though it is hard to prove.
