They are not capitalist, but they are making moves in that direction (much like the Soviet Union circa the Yeltsin years). But much like the Yeltsin years in the Soviet Union, it's so incredibly corrupt.

I also wouldn't use the word fascist. Facism has some political theories that are incongruous with China. The word I believe you're looking for is Totalitarian, which most communist regimes ended up being. Remember that a large portion of 20th century history involved bloody wars between the fascists and communists (though both were totalitarian as opposed to the democratic countries of western Europe and America).
