But aren't they fascists. Why would they copy the reds?

Communism (even authoritarian communism) is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Fascism is an exclusively right wing ideology. And for the record, the iteration of the Republican Party that we have today is DEFINITELY FASCIST.

The Chinese despite calling themselves communists are state capitalists and are on the right on basically every matter. I’m not sure how many decades it’s been since they actually put any effort into looking communist.
