China is an odd character when it comes to the economy. China has a state-directed, right-wing economic and political apparatus. This means that there are elements of a planned economy (a command economy) and elements of capitalism (a market economy).
What generally happens is that industries in China are required to sell to the Chinese government a golden company share, which means that the government can override decisions of the company leaders and often uses this power. The use of such a power is typical of command or planned economies, especially when the Chinese government orders the company to create or produce a product that they would otherwise not choose to produce.
However, the majority of corporate decisions are made by the independent company officers, which is typical of a market economy. There are, generally speaking, no quotas and companies are allowed to produce the quantities of product that the market will bear. Prices are set by companies for most products and market infiltration by region is almost entirely at the company's discretion.
