[Tsagadai]

China is quite free compared to most western countries. If you have money you are pretty much free to do as you please as long as you keep your head down. There are two types of crimes in China crimes that get you put away forever or executed and crimes that you just pay the officer for. Every regulation in China is basically a tax, you pay someone and it is solved.

That is a kind of freedom, perhaps, but it isn't liberty. China is notoriously short on liberty.
