For one, I do not get interrogated by 'immigrant officers' in China while I can not enter the States without some weird interrogation by goofballs who want to know stuff that's none of their busyness, they even had the nerve to ask me 'who I came to visit' (?) This never hapened to me in China.
Also, when I drove around in the US I got stopped many times for all kind of 'controls' and ID checks, never happened to me in China either. I have never seen 'road blocks' there while they are common in the States.
Now it even gets worse, when I want to vist America they demand me to give my fingerprints, not China, I feel a lot more welcome there. Needless to say I won't be visting America anymore.
I don't say the Chinese people are more free than the American people, what I do say is that the Chinese government is more friendly towards tourists, a lot more.
