Not at all. China is very far from free-market capitalism. The basis of their current position is IP theft, spies, plagiarism as well as the state backing their companies.
There was a naive view among the countries of the west that by giving away technology and doing business with the chinese government, china would become democratic.
This has been proven wrong. The faulty assumption was that it was "doing business" when in reality, the government was the counter part, which is pretty far from doing business along free-market lines.
