Maybe we are just being pedantic, but it sounds like you are looking for autocracy. I would class china’s system as more aristocratic now with multiple red families running most of the politics and much of the economy. But even that isn’t exactly right, china’s political system is difficult to categorize.

On second thought I think you are right that it is its own thing. I do not remember the details, but political scientist Fukuyama classifies the Chinese political system in "The Origins of Political Order" and due to the cultural context it has many unique properties.
