> China doesn't do that. The US makes China look free and friendly.

China does a lot more , a lot worse, that is in no way "optional" for citizens or travelers alike

Well I am a living example to counter your assertion.

I am a Chinese citizen who has NOT been required to submit my social media accounts (US ones: GitHub, twitter, Facebook or Chinese ones: weibo, renren) to the Chinese immigration in the past. And to my best knowledge foreign travellers are also not required to do so. I can also imagine the story will blow up in every news media if they start doing so.
