Freedom House is a pretty nutty web site. They have a map of countries which has some unusual aspects, the most bizarre of which is you can't find China on the map. Apparently they have carved it up to their own western satisfaction, just like in that old 19th century French cartoon ( https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:China_imperialism_cartoon.jpg https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:China_imperialism_... ).
