Don't they just require either that companies sell them ownership in exchange for, um, as a result of obeying the government; or they just seize them?

This is, "Hey, need $?" "Sure!" "What are you offering, I'd like part ownership." "Sure!"

I don't think it's actual capitalism because there's economic or administrative/regulatory pressure, but it's not D-S a Western European countries nor is it nationalization a la socialism in the PRC and USSR or even Venezuela.

Perhaps pushing towards corporatism.
