But aren't there competitive corporations which are owned by rich people in China? And doesn't chinese government extract as much information from its citizens as possible (even more than european governments) like the case in DeepSeek? It may seem to be authoritarian but I think it's also a sign of consumption habbits extraction. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Socialism is not defined by the total absence of private property, but by what is principle, and in China that's absolutely public ownership with the working class in control. Further, it doesn't take especially more data than European, Statesian, etc. governments.
