You don't get it- the Chinese public sector works WITH the private sector- to provide the infrastructure and supply chains that make China the most competitive economy in the world. I have many many times explained to you how this works but you seem incapable of grasping the concepts involved. Here- I will try again- an example is energy- Chinese government work to plan and build electricity generation capacity because they understand that providing electricity at the lowest possible cost is an incredible economic stimulus for productive Chinese manufacturers- this is one example of how Chinas strategically planned MIXED economy can out compete western manufacturers on most production sectors. Lets look at the results achieved in terms of electricity supply-
China now produces more electricity that the USA, EU and India combined.
Lets look at nuclear- China took US nuclear blueprints, tweaked them a little and is now building dozens of new nuclear power stations at a fraction of the cost it takes in the USA where just one or two new nuclear power stations are being build very slowly and at huge expense- because the USA has lost the ability to build things because the USA got drunk of neoliberal financialised crony capitalist bullshit that produces nothing except debt and derivatives.
Chinas mixed economy has won the trade war- USA cannot fight a war of any size because China controls the supply of refined rare earths and many other supply chains for the next decade at least. China understood that a productive competitive economy is a complex mechanism requiring careful strategic planning and a potent combination of state lead investment free enterprise.
Regarding the wests squandering misuse of fiat- you clearly do not understand how fiat issuance works- in the west the vast majority of new fiat money has been created by private banks when they issue debt to anyone for anything. Most of the issuance by the banks has been toward non productive asset price speculation- not productive investments- the governments at the same time have failed to provide the framework for private enterprise to invest in productive purposes. The west has failed because it has misused fiat debt issuance for self defeating asset pumping greed is good zero sum parasitic neoliberal bullshit. The bankers have done this and stupid western governments have let them because they are owned by the banks.
the Chinese public sector works WITH the private sector
Every state makes this claim. It's not true. By definition, if you're levying taxes or printing money, then you're working against the private sector. You're talking about a select few businesses that "work with" the state, but the fact that there exists a state to work with and that they have no choice but to negotiate with means the market isn't free.

Yes all governments claim to do this but far too many are corrupted now by corporate lobbyists and other parasites who pay the politicians to do their bidding, protect their cartels and monopolies and ultimately end up with a crippled and inefficient un-competitive economy that results in spiraling debt and reducing living standards.
The proof of Chinas ongoing economic success is in its continuous and growing trade surpluses and increasingly in its strategic domination across multiple supply chains. China has won the trade war and has put the US military industrial banking complex to shame as US empire slips away and the west loses its centuries long global domination and wealth.
As I pointed out earlier you appear incapable of understanding the crucial dynamic synergy between a well operated government that supports and strengthens its strategic supply chains, infrastructure and productivity of its businesses in a mixed economy and a corrupt and crony capitalist neoliberal infiltrated one like USA where private capital owns government and creates endless wasteful cartels and rentseeking parasitic dynamics.
USA is losing its power and wealth because it failed to invest in rare earths and other strategic supply chains. Free markets do not solve all economic and political problems.

The nation has no wealth if the state decides the allocation. If every economic decision has to align with the state's grand strategy, then everyone is a slave.
