Hey Mike! Kishore coined the term as a way to clear up people’s misunderstanding of what the CCP is. His point is that people misread the CCP’s goal as advancing communism world wide, whereas in actuality its goal is to advance the interests of the Chinese nation. This misread results in nonsensical China policy, which is why he promotes the term, to help people deal with China as it is and not what people think China is. As for control of private property: interventions are possible, for sure. But I am not sure whether the existence of interventions is a meaningful point in this discussion. Here in the Netherlands there are a ton of interventions too. I can’t even park a bike on my own parking lot without getting into trouble! Yet nobody will argue that private property in the Netherlands is weak. The fact is that for the most part, property in China really is private. That large companies have to cede some control is an exception to the rule, because most companies are not large.
