I know where you're coming from. These supposed authoritarian countries turn out to be anything but. When I go to Cambodia or Laos, countries with communist ties, I feel just as free as I do walking down a street in Iowa. No one watches me in those countries. No one comes up to me asking for my paperwork every five minutes. No one kicks in my hotel room doors and hauls me to various "Hiltons".
Given the concentration of law enforcement officers in the US and all the new leashes on people there, I'd say perhaps one would be even more "free" living in Laos or China. Maybe even Burma. Isn't it ironic? In Kunming you'll feel like you have more civil liberties than you will have in Peoria.
