In China the state and corporations can blend so it's difficult to tell the difference between the two. It is known for government sponsored dumping to meet some state goal or another.
This runs counter to the last 50 years of American propaganda espousing the inefficiency of government. If the Chinese government can just throw money at industries and have them flourish, why can't other governments?
When things line up and the decisions are decent, top down can be really good.

Healthcare in South Korea for example is government managed and it is one of the best healthcare in the world.
I believe utility companies are also government owned.
Also some of the well known companies now were practically government owned during the Park dictatorship in the 70s.
I wouldn't use the term "Flourish" as what you hear and see is strictly controlled

The frontier models are going to need to REALLY up their game if they can justify $200/mo for pretty awful experiences.
