How are the Chinese "communists" in anything other than name?
The Chinese system is much closer to fascism.
You and me are talking about different things. The term Fascism has 2 different meanings.
Look here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
The Fascism that is well known was the original called Italian Fascism.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_fascism
------------------------------------------------------
Mussolini defined fascism as being a collectivistic ideology in opposition to socialism, liberalism, democracy and individualism. He wrote in The Doctrine of Fascism:
Anti-individualistic, the fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal will of man as a historic entity.... The fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value.... Fascism is therefore opposed to that form of democracy which equates a nation to the majority, lowering it to the level of the largest number.... We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the 'right', a Fascist century. If the nineteenth century was the century of the individual we are free to believe that this is the 'collective' century, and therefore the century of the State.
That is the Fascism i am referring to. The original one.
The one you are referring to is this.

I am referring to the original use of the term which is what Mussolini created.
Before WW2 and during WW2 Fascists were against Socialism/Communism while it was the other way around. If you actually look up in that Fascist beliefs (not the slang term i showed in a link above) they are quite opposite from Socialists/Communists.
There were riots around the world during those days in which the 2 sides fought each other.
Not even Nazism is Fascism. It was similar to the original Fascism (known as Italian Fascism) but it was different. It really depends on what type of Fascism you are talking about.
