Since China is still a totalitarian society all the resources of the state can be focused on supporting the commercial sector. You see this in currency manipulation, counterfeiting western brand-name products, and industrial espionage. In China state employees work full time engaging in practices that would put an American entreprenuer in prison. Stalin said the Western capitalists would hang from the very rope they had sold to the communists. China will steal the rope.

Now we just need 3d robots from outer space to finish them.
