You have a communist government. Whatever capitalistic tendencies which China shows must be seen with the backdrop of communism as the governmental and societal underpinnings.

When China becomes a free and open nation, I will take seriously its claims to capitalism.

It is, though. You can go to China, walk anywhere, talk to anyone freely. Nobody will lie to you or tout the State line. It is capitalist, too. The government regulates the economy to a degree as do all governments, but realize that the backbone of the economy is not government projects but private enterprise by democratic agreement in the community. Not as raving independent as in America, the Land of Opportunity, but still capitalism.
