"Vague" is a neutral way of putting it.
The laws are "whatever the party declares today. Also, whatever the party declares tomorrow."
The whole value proposition of doing business in China is a gamble that tomorrow's set of party strictures will be equal or better than today's.
(Spolier: they won't!)
And yes, "the party" isn't a single monolithic thing. It's shorthand for "whichever levels of authority have influence and interest in what you're doing."
And no, this isn't comparably similar how the US or any other democratic nation operates.
