Probably US-Americans confusing anything that's not predatory capitalism with Russia and China.
Confusing or deliberately conflating, depending on whether they're the fraudster or the mark.
And unfortunately this conflation was also exploited by the Soviet Union and CCP to point their state capitalism as the only alternative to (neo)liberal capitalism.
