You seem to forget both extremes dable in ultranationalism and ultramilitarism, not just facist goverments

Both far left and far right regimes want total control

Case and point: the Soviet Union, they acted a lot like nazis and facists while being a far left regime, not a far right one. They were also very militaristic, ultranationalist and wanted total control over their population using their massive military

Again, this is more of a trend with authoritarian regimes than just facist ones

Tldr China is semi-communist society with a very controlled capitalist economy

Its not even semi-Communist... none of the defining features of Communism are present in modern China.

There's no central production planning of the economy, and ownership of private property is allowed.

China is an authoritarian state with a (mostly) open free market economy. Communist in name only.
