Under [[Xi Jinping]], the CCP has proven all too willing to incorporate aspects of Hitlerian national socialism into its mode of governance. Carl Schmitt, known as the ‘crown jurist of national socialism’, was cited by legal advisers to China’s leadership to rationalize the CCP’s imposition of a new national security law on [[Hong Kong]] in 2020.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2020/12/nazi-china-communists-carl-schmitt/617237/</ref> Schmitt’s central argument was that the sovereign, as someone who decides on exceptions to rules, has a necessary power to suspend civil liberties. That the CCP is now incorporating Schmitt’s fascist jurisprudence into its legal regime indicates that China’s ruling elite has been influenced not only by the ideological elements of national socialism but also by Nazism’s governmental aspects.<ref>https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/xi-jinpings-conception-of-socialism/</ref>

According to the official state-run media organ Xinhua, "The essence of patriotism is having unified love for the country, the Party and socialism, Xi added, urging young Chinese to follow the instructions and guidance of the Party, and remain dedicated to the country and the people."<ref>http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-04/30/c_138024983.htm</ref>

That's exactly the economic system that China has today. It's pure National Socialism (Nazism).
