China hasn't done much central planning for many decades.

They do, the state permits a free market but they also coordinate strategically to make decisions which benefit the country.

No, central planning is key to the state capitalism employed by China, it is done on ALL strategic industries.

They just no longer do any central planning on nonsense matters like how much ice cream need to be produced for the summer and how much coffee shops are required for Shanghai.
