It is not 1:1 as China isn't really a command economy any more, at least in the relevant industries, but it is a way to undercut the global market and mitigate shocks. They were doing a lot of it in the 2010s as China's Asian neighbors began to start seriously producing and threaten their position as hegemon of cheap industrial goods. It was successful to a degree, but these things are still playing out so we have yet to see whether or not it was prescient and can overcome the obvious consequences of creating huge foreign reserves for geo-strategic rivals.
The bit on separation of civilian industry is more simple; i.e not having production of farm equipment tied to a quota X (informed by regional grain yield A) that will be produced at factory Y means that each member of the field competes with themselves and others to create more efficient platforms/production. It essentially debloats the work that planners need to do by encouraging indigenous solutions, it is not without peril and requires a consistent supply of highly technically skilled laborers and some plants failing in the process. Over the course of many decades, however, industry standards emerge and are followed to varying degrees, the fact that they arise naturally makes them more responsive as well, and consequences of failure have a smaller area of effect.
