It is indeed a weird mix in China, but I had not expected this one. Its a law that could be useful everywhere, even though it is hard to prove.

Turns out when you run a government like a corporation properly, you can think about long-term profits instead of only next quarter. It isn't fully-automated luxury gay space communism, but it's a hell of a lot better than neoliberalism.

It’s not nearly as authoritarian as people like to claim. Chinese citizens hold tens of thousands of protests each year against a wide variety of topics, and the government is legally required to respond to them. As a consequence, the Chinese government is orders of magnitude more responsive to local corruption or abuses of power than almost any western country.
