Nope, America is the top boss, they also have a huge saying in many things. With Iraq they invaded and set up a government to their own liking. If there should be something like that there, in China, it will most definetly fall. Not everyone wants to be ran by the US.
There is a strong society, Chinese people in general do work very hard and have the look of tough love on many of them. That and its not China limiting the trade that America said they were promoting, it is America themselves. They sold a Gasoline company for 170million(or billion forget) to Chevron rather than to China for 200million because they deemed them as at threat.
Its still there, the school system shows.It's the freedom to know that when you work hard, and play smart, you'll almost certainly come out on top that makes people work hard and play smart.
Again its a totally different mindset, and that when things are in ruin, you dont want people showing they are weak, they need to get their gear in line, and fast. The economy there is rapidly improving with their own way of doing things, and i am sure will near equal or surpass the US within time and hardship. Why else would US deem them a threat..?
EDIT: I still think theres alot of freedom for people there despite what people think. I feel what they are doing are fine for their current situation with the current oppositions. If China were in the same league as America(which they arent at the moment) then i might think differently. But i support them so far and thats where i stand.
