Yep, the working class controls the state since 1949, and public ownership is the principal, ie rising and dominant, aspect of the economy.
That sounds overly simplified. An authoritarian government is not accountable to the working class, and the pouring in of foreign capital, let alone market reforms since the 70's says at least a mixed market economy.
It's simplified because that's the generalities of socialism. China's specific economy is called a socialist market economy. As for the state, it's indeed run by the working class, who wield the authority of the state against the capitalist class. The state is not outside of class struggle nor does it form its own class, so the "authoritarian" state is a working class state. To be picky here, all states are "authoritarian," as all states are the means by which one class exerts its authority over the others. All economies are "mixed," to be clear, that's why I identified public ownership as being rising and dominant, not complete and pure.
