"Authoritarianism" is meaningless because all it means is "uses state power." It doesn't acknowledge which class controls the state and who it uses state power against. In China, the working classes control the state, and use state power against bad actors and capitalists more than anything else. China is oppressive *to capitalists* and liberating *to workers.*

I'm using the term to refer to suppression of people (which isn't restricted to workers) in politics, media, etc.
