It depends how specific you want to be with terminology. If tyranny/authoritarian/dictatorship/totalitarian/fascism is all mushy words used interchangeably, then why not.
China is authoritarian. It has been one-party authoritarian country for a long time, now it's going towards strong man rule again.
Totalitarianism describes the most extreme form of authoritarian rule that leaves no place for individual or other actors. China becoming more authoritarian rule but it's not close to the level the level totalitarian control over individuals it was during the Mao-era, or height of Stalinism, or Nazi Germany. Nor it is not at the same level as North Korea is totalitarian.
