Ironic, especially given 100 hundred years of Hollywood proaganda telling the west that the US are the center of freedom.

Which was and is true to some extent.

And don't get me wrong, China is a dictatorship, and a tyranny for some.

But then again, the west is a tyranny for some.

That's how the cycles happen. China realizes they could use a little more freedom and US realizes that they could do with a little less. The emerging/shrinking middle class of both countries also moves the sweet spot.

		Absolutely! Doesn't make it any less amusing from the outside, to see the US struggle with their identity. (It's most always just a struggle when freedom becomes less)
