Its not my opinion, china is a capitalist country run by communist (with Xi totalitarian) government. The companies adhere to market laws/regulations and operate like any other capitalist western corporations. Of note is the fact that as corporation gets to certain size their board must hire certain number of party official who will oversee the business operations. Those people ensure the company is heading in the broad direction set by the party. If they dont, party will bring out the knives and it doesnt matter if you are jack ma or not.
