Authoritarianism does not preclude communism. Likewise, their model more resembles fascism with all facets of life serving the government's ends. Which is the reason for my classification of it as Communist as fascism is a mere variant of communism. The fact that some disaffected communists disagree with Xi is quite common as Communists often disagree.

The key tenet of communism is common ownership of capital; in the authoritarian and totalitarian varieties, this is implemented as ownership by the state that represents "dictatorship of the proletariat". The fascist economic system is completely different.
