The NYT does not support the Chinese model, which is more or less unregulated capitalism, with small exceptions made for state-owned enterprises. It's spent a lot of time criticizing the Chinese for labor issues because the Chinese don't have enough government regulations for the NYT's taste. The NYT wants Swedish-style socialism, not communism. The raw capitalism that's part of the Chinese economic scene is why its nominal per capita GDP is 4x India's and reflected by annual car sales that are just over 6x India's.
Unregulated capitalism in China? Think again. The Party gets quite a bit from foreign companies in exchange for the low labor rates and (relatively) low corporate taxes; lots of proprietary info is not secret from the Party. All contributes to empowering the Party further—and its military. Those goals are not capitalistic.

Kinda hard to attack the NYT for being Liberal when you are cheerleading for the Communist Chinese, dontcha think?
By the way...all that “free market in Communist China” stuff has brought their per capita GDP to around half of what Mexico’s is....and look at all the Illegal Aliens we get from Mexico!
