    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.

      I would not characterize Xi Jinping as a dictator. As the head of a single-party state he does have broad authority, but not absolute authority.
