Every market economy does "planning". The major difference is a democratic free market economy does government planning via people who were elected, in the open, under a relatively free press, where disagreement, dissent and compromise exist. Businesses, which are the engine of the free market system, plan constantly or they will eventually fail to meet the needs of the customer.

In the Chinese model we can assume some disagreement takes place behind closed doors, but that's about it.

No free press, no free dissent, no free dialogue and no free elections.

I know which society I prefer.
