China or US: Which offers a better life?

6. Freedom

This is a subject that honestly has surprised me. Most people in the West think that there isn't so much individual freedom in China. In fact, there is a lot of criticism about China regarding individual freedom. I'm not a person who concerns himself with politics much. Even in the USA. I'm not at all a 'politically active' person. I focus on what I'm here on the earth to do and not so much on what the government does. What I've observed here is that people are very free to live their lives. Again, this has been a surprise to me as I expected it to be more restrictive from all I've heard about China before coming here. The only restrictions that have really directly affected me are the ones regarding the Internet. But, even there, it really isn't all that restrictive.
