My understanding is that in the special economic zones that were established by deng people are allowed to lease land from the government cheaply and have private factories on that land, and in those areas China’s basically capitalist, but governed by a dictatorship of the proletariat, in the rest of the country property is either owned by the government or in collectives.

How is the will of the proletariat excercised? If there are areas where private property is permitted, there are bound to be bourgeousie there - local perhaps, but still capitalist. And they are no doubt working towards their class interests and against the proletariat. And are likely enjoying the support of international capital. So how does CPC (which as I understand is meant to be acting on behlf of the proletariat, as described by Marx) maintain class interests of the proletariat?
There are bourgeoisie in China, by design. China has an explicit collaboration strategy that embraces the existence of a bourgeoisie as historically necessary to the development of society, but as a concession afforded to the bourgeoisie by the proletariat. The proletariat control the super structure that allows the bourgeoisie to exist, uses the individual owner’s self interest to manage them against their class interest, polices them and their behaviors, and controls who gets in.
