As far as I know they are a community which has good solidarity I think the government want the wealth spread more evenly among Chinese people although sometimes I think they do many excessive move. They control and push ( in positive way ) their citizens to run their business. But that moves make me confused, is the government afraid if there is someone that has very big power outside government institutions?. Well the government know the best about their country.
But in reality, an authoritarian government is only seen as a government that prohibits the freedom of each individual to stand on what he chooses. including the economy itself. China with a system that makes the interests of the state as its main strength needs to prioritize whatever the Chinese government wants to achieve and override the rights of the people who want to live in individual freedom. Even legitimate beliefs make them accept consequences that are unacceptable to all countries. We admit that China's economy is growing very fast, but covering up freedom is not a good policy. The more you press, the bigger the trigger.
