Do you think "a few rich people" and communist party are equal? You should say "the class of rich vs communist party"How can you say the US is more of an oligarchy than China?
Are a few rich people in the US really more powerful than basically the almost permanent inner circle of the Communist party? I don't think so.
You can however claim that true power in the US can come with popularity. No one is questioning that someone like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, or the late Steve Jobs holds more high support by the people than most politicians...and if they had some personal agenda they wanted pushed through the Government I'm sure they could gather enough popular support to make it happen.
But if you were some old crony billionaire who was trying to secretly push something unpopular he would likely get outed and given such PR damage that he wouldn't be able to live the life he wanted anymore.
US political structure is designed to serve rich people. Democracy, freedom of speech, free media, law system. All these can be manipulated by money.
