Endless wars pre-date capitalism. Western defense companies are hardly capitalistic. They are as "planned economy" as it gets. China is wildly capitalistic in many aspects.

Maybe Chinese companies don't lobby for war because they are so bad at war that they can't see a route to profitability?

pretty cool to assume that china must be “bad at war” vs. thinking that you can be a lot more profitable in peace :)

It's a valid question. Presumably a given company will do what is most profitable for it whether that's lobbying for peace or war. It's worthwhile to try to understand what the differences in either circumstances or policy might be that led to an alternate outcome.
