I think the difference is Hierarchy.
Xi and Putin put themselves at the tippy top while in the US due to how "democracy" works, who's in charge can shift around. Billionaires here are the higher ups while the government acts as contractors/employees to them. You can't fire your boss.
So what you’re saying is, in China, the capitalists aren’t the boss, but they are here?
