Yet its market operates more like a capitalistic one.
It's also not entirely fair to point the finger wholly at China on CO2 output when Europe and the US have effectively outsourced their manufacturing and most polluting processes to companies over there.
China is a capitalist state run by converted former Marxists using the language of Marxist-Leninism to administrate an authoritarian market economy.
They've in a sense found a way to use Marx's critique of capitalism towards its opposite intent. Marx saw the authoritarianism inherent in the market and how it was tied to wage labour exploitation? The Chinese Communist party has harnessed that authoritarianism to increase exploitation to its maximum.
The Communist Party in China are as "communist" as the later Roman emperors were "Christian."
