The youtube channel “geopolitical economy report” has a lot of really good videos about China’s economy.

Here are a few ones I especially recommend:

How can China be socialist if it has a stock market? Understanding the Chinese economy

How China became the world’s industrial superpower - and why the US is desperate to stop it
