If you ask the question “Does it benefit us if the west thinks we’re communist?” then the answer is no and it is obviously beneficial to downplay it. It hurts international communism because we can’t use China as a selling point with people who think it’s not communist, but it directly benefits China for the western liberals to have uncertainty about whether it’s actually communism or not as it makes them make incorrect decisions about the country. So even from a dialectical analysis I can see the argument for deliberately spreading the idea that it’s not.
