It goes beyond that you can't get rich in China without being a CCP loyalist, it's that you can't function as a Chinese citizen in China without being a CCP loyalist. The idea of an outspoken political antagonist of the CCP even making it through college is laughable. Every society has its heresies and enforced loyalties. We have a term in the U.S. for heresy - "politically incorrect". In the U.S. it's hard to imagine an outspoken proponent of human biodiversity making it very far in life. No CEO would dare speak in favor of HBD advocate, it would open up the entire company to lawsuits. As for as economic intrusion goes, China is really a unique case. They've invented a new form of capitalism that works very well -- the state government owns some companies, the state government owns shares in other publicly traded companies, local governments own some companies or shares in companies, and some companies have no government ownership. In the U.S. the government exacts dividends from corporations in the form of corporate taxes, and exercises management control via regulation (OSHA, civil right legislation, workplace rules, etc. etc.) The Chinese system of openly owning shares is similar, but perhaps more efficient.
