What a banal way of describing the march toward fascism.
I think it's clever (assuming the writer knows what it really is). Call it fascism, and the readers of the WSJ opinion pages will yawn. Call it communism (even in this oblique it's-like-China way), and they'll pay attention.

Not sure if the author intended it as such, but modern day China is textbook fascist. Textbook as in The Doctrine of Fascism. So it is spot on.
