China has enjoyed a measure of economic success, such that things are definitely better than they have been.

It's people are some of the most free in the world.


Not even remotely.

For example, they aren't genuinely free to practice their religious faith. They
are only allowed to go to imitation churches that are actually run by the
government.

They aren't free to debate political issues. So they can't draw attention to
problems such as corruption or pollution. And there is plenty of corruption in
China, just not at the very highest political levels.
