When I worked in China it was with a Canadian School - all teachers had to have a Canadian teaching certificate (albeit they did not have to be born in Canada).
While living there, one of the teachers got all of us a proxy server to bypass Chinese restrictions so we could get onto Google and Facebook etc. It's like Thailand - you can say anything you want but you can't insult the king in any way. You will be arrested.
The thing is other than that you really don't feel restricted in any other way. They work, make money, travel, buy Samsung and Apple phones, buy Ferrari - eat at McDonald's, play sports, make out with their girlfriends, and so forth.
Some cities are dirty and some are clean - Wenzhou was filthy, a 4 hour or so ride in a bus was Hangzhou which was beautiful. I am sure one can find examples in the US - there is Flint Michigan and there is Vermont.
The big difference seems to be voting but so many Americans don't vote (more than half) and many of the people who do vote bemoan the fact that they're "choosing the lesser of two evils" and usually it doesn't matter - their lives don't actually change a helluva lot. Of course, I still prefer the ability to vote but when half or more of the country couldn't give a crap and don't vote they may as well be living in China!
