Except the Chinese government definitely manipulates prices and has mandates so not just usual privately owned capitalism.

Private businesses manipulate their own prices all the time.

That's their business and is a part of capitalism. Private ownership.

So China isn't capitalism because China isn't capitalism?

Y'know, it's funny. I was looking over my comment history just a second ago, and before I got your message the previous comment was sitting at 2 and now it's at 0. Right after you messaged me. When your arguments are dogshit in a community that's not particularly fond of China. It's almost like you're using multiple accounts to manipulate votes like a loser tankie.

You saying I have multiple accounts and I care enough to manipulate a deep level comment upvote count?

Anyway, ultra-capitalism is when the government is even LESS involved. So you are saying in China the government has virtually no involvement in the market? Oookeydokey.
