Copying yesterday’s comment as a partial answer:
This is why “authoritarian” China has capital controls. It’s also why imperial core states and corporate media call China “authoritarian”: because the capitalist class—which controls those states and owns the media—can’t tolerate state controls on capital. Any state that gets in the way of Western capitalist neocolonial plundering is “authoritarian.” It’s a major reason why the US keeps getting into wars of choice and prosecuting regime changes/color revolutions/Balkanizations.
I like regulations on corporations.
I don’t like autocrats.
I don’t like cultures being wiped out.
I don’t like tanks running over students.
I don’t like the need to destroy and control Tibet, Hong Kong, and probably Taiwan and the Philippines.
I don’t like being jailed for wearing a shirt.
I don’t like the idea of having to learn xi’s thoughts.
I like talking to my Chinese friends who love China, but hate the government, hate the surveillance, hate the repression and control.
Ps. Inevitably, any significantly large and motivated nation will become ruled by power hungry madmen.
I don’t like autocrats.

This is just ridiculous.
I don’t like the idea of having to learn xi’s thoughts.
