The capitalist class in China is subject to the wishes of the working class represented by the party with its over 100 million members.

LMAO. Do you actually believe that garbage yourself?

The simple truth is that China is the most efficient capitalist country in the world right now - they combine a totalitarian regime with a huge economy and an actual self-serving but smart understanding of capitalism. They are simply better at playing that game that the rest of the world.

What we don't see from the outside is to what degree becoming rich enables you to take influence on the political system. What we do see is that the Chinese "communist" (muhaha) party has an iron grip on the country, but also that they are strongly intertwined with what you call "the capitalist class" (i.e. rich parasites).

    Welcome to marxism-leninism. Socialist state building is about achieving progress for the people. That can mean building up production forces and engaging in capitalism, as long as the capitalist class is subject to the peoples wishes.
