I do not know what you mean exactly. Of course in China individual liberties are restricted, but at the same time government power is not unlimited and do not reach every corners of society. In many ways, the streets feel like a free market place: you can bargain prices, people sell what they want and there is a lot of exchange taking place that you would probably never seen in the US or Europe.

Therefore I mean "Freedom" in that sense. I am not talking about Freedom on paper/in terms of rights. How much you feel free and how much you really are, are very different things.
