China, ever since the major reforms of Deng Xiao Ping in the early 1980s, has been trending further towards liberty than many in the Western world give them credit for. Of course, there is the occasional effort by the government to squash dissidents and torture their monks, etc. but no country is perfect. That’s very true.
