You don't know what "state capitalism" is, but you're sure that it doesn't resemble China?

A state-capitalist country is one where the government controls the economy and essentially acts as a single huge corporation, extracting surplus value from the workforce in order to invest it in further production. This designation applies regardless of the political aims of the state, even if the state is nominally socialist.

China has a stock market. They are not Communist anymore. They're barely even Maoist. The official position of the CCP is that Mao was 30% wrong.

"The lady doth protest too much" is a line from Shakespeare.

The phrase is used in everyday speech to indicate doubt of someone's sincerity, especially regarding the truth of a strong denial.
