The word 'capitalist' means 'in the form or style of capitalism'. It is, therefore, vacuosly true.
Yes, Belgium's economy is a form of capitalism.
China was previously state capitalist but is now a mix of state and private capitalism.
In a capitalist society the market is privatized and individuals and businesses are encouraged to make and spend money and compete against each other. Capitalism can take on many forms, but in its purest form the free market would have no regulation. However, most capitalist societies have some form of government regulation on the market.

Capitalism is an economic system, involving wage labour, production for sale and minority ownership of the means of production. It is compatible with various different systems of government, but all involve defending the interest of the rulings capitalist class.
You name it, and it's probably not socialist. Even those countries that call themselves socialist are mostly capitalist now.
Both supported a state-capitalist Dictatorship by a small number of people. That’s to say, a form of capitalism where the means means of production are owned by the state, but the vast majority of people still have to work for wages.
It is a Communist government that has recently embraced a form of capitalism.
IT CAN BE, BUT IS NOT NECESSARILY SO. Capitalism is exclusively an economic system where private companies drive a country's trade and industry. So, in terms of economics, capitalism leaves the wealthy industrialists and entrepreneurs in control of the economy. However, as concerns governments, capitalism provides no clear answer as to who is in power. Capitalism can occur under nearly any form of government, be it democracy, monarchy, autocracy, military junta, or a theocracy.
The four basic rights that form the foundation of capitalism are the rights to private property. The right to keep all profits made after taxes, the right of choice and the right to compete with other business'.
Mercantilism was in some sense an early form of capitalism, though there was considerable state control over foreign trade and there were usually, along with this, very high tariffs. Laissez-faire refers to more traditional ideas of how capitalism should operate, little to no state interference, no monopolies, etc. "Welfare capitalism" is a term that is sometimes used to refer to capitalist countries that have strong social welfare programs and do make some limited attempts to combat homelessness and extreme poverty. Examples of this today would be Sweden and Norway. What these all have in common is that they are all basically capitalist, laissez-faire and welfare capitalism are essentially the same economically for the most part but have some starkly different social policies. Mercantilism does not have a great deal in common with them. Democratic socialism is a term that can refer to two different things. It can sometimes be used as a synonym for social-democracy, or it can be used as a term to distinguish oneself from what people typically associate with what they think is communism. Socialism refers to any political and economic philosophy or system that is not capitalist and emphasises community control over politics and the social ownership of the means of production. There is no difference between this and the second description of what "democratic socialism" means. The first (synonym for social-democracy) description however, has little in common with socialism, it is essentially capitalist and has much in common with welfare capitalism.
