because nobody wants to say "successfully governed by a totalitarian regime"
somehow, west democracies consider anatema to admit that totalitarin regimes can effectively manage entire countries.
And China has enough success that it cannot be dismissed as luck, or anything else than (totalitarian) government plans which achieved the same good outcomes as western democracies have

Chile under Pinochet, Iran under Ayatollahs, Russia under Putin and more than a few others past and present. China's government isn't so much communist as it is dynastic, just as Russia' s government it Czarist.
