repressive in some ways, yes speak out against the gov't and you're screwed, corruption is also significant. On the flip side, China's infrastructure sucks so much that you can get away with a lot that you can't in the U.S. . First thought was illegal parking, open defecation and prostitution. I'm not putting any judgements, I'm just saying in practice it is easier in China to do the aforementioned than I find it is to do the same in the U.S.!
