There are no capitalists in China, China itself is the capitalist.

I think I see the confusion. A capitalist is someone who owns a significant amount of capital. China obviously has capitalists. Liberalism is the philosophy of capitalism. China does have liberals, but there's been some pushback over the last decade or so.
