I backed up my claims. Feel free to check the links I provided.

I am quoting dictionaries and providing other links, which I doubt you looked at. You have done nothing, except provide your opinion. Which albeit appreciated it is just that. In the USA and most Western countries you have Laws and court systems that are meant to counter the Federal government from abuse of power. In China you have embedded party members into companies that push Party doctrine and wishes. You and I may have a very, very different defintion of the word, “Control.” One is democratic, the other, the ione practiced by the CCP is goes ibto the path of being authoritarian. By all means, do you have a good source to back up your disagreement?

I can provide more proof, Imagine Canada or Poland having party members in corporate offices. That would be weird in a democracy.

“The government and party use several approaches to secure this control and oversight of the business community. CCP cells have expanded greatly inside company headquarters. Changes in corporate governance as well as party officials placed into the corporate hierarchy have elevated the party’s role in business decisions. Government subsidies and contracts increase the private sector’s dependency on Beijing. And joint ventures and mixed-ownership investments tie private firms to state-owned enterprises. CATL exemplifies all these approaches toward the growing fusion of state and private enterprises.”

"It now appears that the Party intends for similar representation within private enterprises. In a speech last month (translated here), Ye Qing, Vice Chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, called for building a “modern private enterprise system with Chinese characteristics.” According to Ye, this would include giving a company’s internal Party group control over the human resources decisions of the enterprise and allowing it to carry out company audits, including monitoring internal behavior. Echoing Xi’s views on SOEs, Ye also called for the Party to clarify its role in the corporate governance structure of private companies. The Party’s overall aim appears to be to ensure that a wide range of businesses are under the influence of the CCP and willing to work with it to achieve national strategic objectives.

China’s efforts to formalize CCP control of its commercial sector will have significant ramifications for international trade, forcing more liberal market economies to decide how much state intervention they are willing to tolerate in their trading partners. It will also call into question many of the existing rules and assumptions underlying the multilateral trading order. The fact that China has released this opinion at a time of heightened U.S. scrutiny over the government’s links to Huawei and TikTok suggests that China feels confident enough in its system that it is now prepared to advance and defend it on the global stage."
