I would actually argue that China is closer to national socialism rather than fascism precisely because Han nationalism is such a strong element of their ideology. Pure fascism is "state above all", while CCP I think sees the state as more of instrument, a necessary means to another end, more like the Nazis. The difference with the latter is that they are pragmatic national socialists rather than the more rabid Hitlerite variety (which is also why their nationalism isn't so blatantly racial).
