Rather this has been conflated with them adopting various statutes that make it very difficult (but by no means impossible) for other parties to get ballot access. In the PRC for example, there is only one legal political party and the same was true in the Soviet Union. This is what's called semantics and why people who say "it's just semantics" betray their stupidity/ignorance. In some cases (e.g. Cook County, IL), the dominance of a single party can make it look like there is such a  basis   14:20
