> Not sure what the Chinese term was but the Soviets used the word "bourgeoisie" or sometimes "kulaks"
Yup, Chinese did use "bourgeoisie" too. It's called Xiaozi （小资）, though the connotation of the word today has drastically changed. Before and during the Culture Revolution, the word referred to those who didn't have complete conviction in the Revolution and were attracted to the "corrupted life style" of the western world. However, bourgeoisies were educable. If they refused the education, whatever that means, they would turn into the right.
