But not for "free speech on economic issues" - not at least according
to what you've been saying.
It's the high growth rates that you keep yapping about in comparing
China with the USA. The "more to life" doesn't seem to have entered
it. For example, that China has an authoritarian one-party state which
is in direct opposition to any notion of "free speech" doesn't seem to
matter. They have high growth rates and - supposedly - will soon
overtake us. That's all that's required according to you.

What do newspapers have to do with free speech? What does that have to
do with high growth rates?

Umm...earth to Brat, in China the ruling party completely controls the
press and your beloved Internet is censored.
