It depends on whether you accept the Chinese Communist Party's definition of communism. According to them, they are in the "primary stage of socialism", the closest analogy would be Lenin's New Economic Policy (NEP). Note that when most of us think of communism we think of Marxism and Leninism, but the Chinese have also added "Socialism with Chinese characteristics", "the Three Represents", the "Scientific Development Outlook" and the "Chinese Dream". According to them, judging how they measure up to communism by Marxism-Leninism is like judging whether a man is pious by reading only the first 1/3 of the Bible, while neglecting the next 2/3.
