A few corrections :

> but you can't breathe the air yes you can, air is not polluted in ALL of China.

> you don't have rule of law frankly examples in Western democraties where the powerful beat the small guys are numerous. And look at DMCA and shit like that constantly used with abuse.

> you can't reproduce as you might see fit. you can now have more than 1 kid, if that is what you were referring to. This changed since last year if I remember correctly. And on top of that in the countryside many folks have several kids but don’t declare them.

> Not a real great outcome for the average Chinese person, though I guess it beats starving.

If you actually talk with Chinese people, they are actually very happy with the amount of progress most have seen in their lifetime.

So you would prefer living in China without DMCA over a Western country?

Have you lived in China ? It ain't as bad as all the articles make it out to be. I would not want to live there forever, but if I have to choose between the US and China for example, I'd choose China as a first destination anytime.
