Oh, about the freedom etc... I've been there last september, and I can say I saw plenty of freedom in there
I guess the only problem in there is the politics, all the rest is pretty much the same i saw around the world.... I never saw so many porsches, Maseratis, bentleys, ferraris, etc. in one city like in beijing - And I have traveled in all major cities in the world.
Capitalism arrived to China, just in case nobody noticed. Seeing to believe it
