China is controlled by a group of wealthy elite people. The wealthy people don't need to make an army to take control just like the wealthy people of the US don't. You seem to be confused about how things really work.

I am sure there are interesting power dynamics between old and new wealth in China just like the US. As their wealthy class explodes so will their their proxies the corporation thus increasing their power to lobby. The fascist cycle repeats.
