I totally disagree with this analysis and so does Xi and the Chinese government. There's no reason not to trust their plan.
of course xi would disagree, but the 'chinese government' is far too wide. The USSR's party officially was building socialism but within had a liberal faction that overthrew the actual socialists and restored capitalism to a destructive effect. This is a party of 90 million people, there are definitely large factions within it with different aims. Maoists, Trotskyists, Marxist leninists, Dengists, Liberals, Nationalists, social democrats, and much more.
Xi would disagree because he is part of the faction trying to increase socialist reforms within the country, but also not rock the boat too much. He wants it dedicated to building socialism, but also wants markets to take a large part in the economy. He's stopped it from further liberalizing, definitely.
