CEOs run private capitalist enterprises. The Chinese state runs public enterprises, so they aren’t run on the logic of capitalism. These public enterprises don’t even need to make a profit, because the Chinese state has fiat monetary sovereignty. In other words, it has infinite money[1].
Xi is neither a dictator nor a CEO, he is the head of the CPC and the president of China, a largely ceremonial position.
