Then your argument is not about whether or not china is state capitalist but about whether or not the Communist Party of China is earnestly communist and truly represents the working class in its political aims. That is an entirely sifferent question and is not much affected by whether or not they have state run enterprises.
Ok let's assume that the Chinese state is owning the means of productions and is engaging in capitalist practises through state owned or controlled enterprises. Then it would not be fair to call it state capitalist, but state socialist. As capitalism implies that the communist nomenclature is keeping all the surplus value/wealth for themselves, which is not true.
State capitalist does not imply such a thing. State capitalism is whem the state does capitalism ehich it is perfectly possible to do in a way where it is attenpting to forward a communist aim. This was the case in the ussr.
