Just because the state owns lots of stuff does not mean the state is being communist. State capitalism is also a thing. As far as enterprise goes, after finding out that keeping everything in house was not working, nearly all state enterprises were incorporated and the government mostly got out of the running of the businesses, while still holding onto a majority of shares.
