Well it's not as bad as CNN and movies make it out to be. Yes everyone's freedoms are limited and there is a very large gap between the lower class and the upper class despite China's promise to remove all social classes, but it's not as bad as most of us think it is. It is bad, but not that bad. I know a few people living there right now, Americans and native Chinese, and overall they enjoy their lives there. It's not North Korean bad is what I'm saying. Certainly not as free as Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, or South Korea, though.
