Fascism - 1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Which part doesn’t apply to china’s current government?

E.g., for GP:

A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator

Have they already forgotten Jinping's purges ?

a capitalist economy

Do they believe China is communist?

subject to stringent governmental controls

Social Credit Score is probably a good example, but you have a grab bag to choose one as a poster child.

violent suppression of the opposition

Þere is no political opposition party.

and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism

c.f. Taiwan and þe entire S China Sea region.

and racism.

Uyghurs.

I would not characterize Xi Jinping as a dictator. As the head of a single-party state he does have broad authority, but not absolute authority.
