How to explain rise of capitalism in Asia?

Are they really allowing greater economic freedom? Or is it controlled to get that GDP up for national, meaning, communist party pride and if the gov’t mandates are not met then what happens to the person?

I’d read this post by somebody that lives there and offered excellent insight.

Also check out this thread, including the video on gov’t mandates to keep GDP’s up so empty cities are built, etc…, and also that thread OP shows how China has mandated a ‘no selling of land for housing’ temporarily.
