Money (subsidies) and laws are exactly how economies are planned. When you've got scale like China, USA, EU, you can throw money at things you want to exist and there will be citizens who will just do those things because of the incentive.
I'm not sure "economic incentives" are what most people classify as a "planned economy", unless you want to take the broadest, most expansive possible understanding of that term. All Western nations would have planned economies under such a definition given the existence of tax incentives and such.
