China is not best understood as a communist country, or as fascist. China is modernist. Many western countries were modernist between 1920 and 1960. Now they are postmodernist. Modernists believe that sociology is a field of engineering, postmodernists think it's a moral opinion.

Fascism, imperialism, communism were results of modernist ideas: society has to be constructed, and making an omelet requires breaking eggs. Postmodernist societies don't construct, but mitigate and manage existing constructs. Instead of paradigmatic thought, they prefer methods.
