"There are so many little ‘unfreedoms’ in Europe"

I must admit, China would have never crossed my mind as the country of freedoms. But then, I've never been there. Also, I weigh some freedoms higher than others - I don't like that the Chinese government has the freedom to shoot me...

The odds of being shot by anyone in China unless you are comitting a violent crime is far less IMO than in the US.

So all the death sentences are just for violent crimes? What about free speech?
