The difference is, of course, that only one of those countries CONSTANTLY bangs on about being the "free" world, about "free" markets, about how not saying the n-word is censorship etc.

In short, it's only hypocritical for one of those countries.

In both cases though, for normal citizens your own country and it's companies are far more dangerous than some random country halfway across the globe.

China is a foreign sovereign country.

"USA is a free country" does not refer to China. "The free world" does not refer to China.
