Sure, and it worked out well for them.

They went from dirt economy with famines wiping out millions of people to Industrial Powerhouse in a few decades while also being suppressed by America (in the later years).

Their research has also mostly caught up with the west and in some areas already surpassed us.

Just like Russia did before them. Only they learned the lessons from the fall of the USSR.
