Xi the Fool is attempting to forge a CCP-Xi fashioned capitalist-socialist (what's that???) economy; his assertiveness is like yelling out loud:" We the big-government are above markets laws, there's no invisible hand, the only hand in wich we believe is the one needed to promote a "common prosperity"; you tech/biz/whatever billionaires are subject to our own control; your behemoths companies have to align to our set ojectives otherwise you're gonna go destroyed".
All the above + social ranking + Great Firewall + latest attemp to impose max 3 hours of videogames play per week for kids sound very, very like Orwell'1984. Quite terrible, awful, unfair and to be fought.

Right observation. Orwell's 1984 is the metaphor that best represents Chinese capitalism's attempts at change.
