I dunno, I don't so much care how close to a book a regime looks. There are also people that criticize American's flavor of democracy, for example. At the end of the day, regardless of what books say, there's only fuzzy real world implementations of said ideologies. Amazon strikes me as being about as close to weaponizing capitalism as it gets, and that isn't exactly a shining beacon of social perfection. Ironically, Amazon sells a bunch of chinese stuff made by companies you've never heard of, whereas commerce of American brands in China is... yohoho and a bottle of rum. I'd say it's far easier for China to ban global sticking-out-like-a-sore-thumb giants like twitter whereas I'd say US' economic reliance on the chinese constellation of businesses is a tough nut to crack. I guess time will tell indeed.
