I would say that in many ways you're more free in China than in a Western country. The difference is (and this is kind of a big deal) that you can't say anything bad about the government. And it's a government that deserves to have a lot of bad things said about it.

The censorship is a pretty big deal as well. Particularly if you're a Westerner trying to access Western media, and it feels like you're using a dial-up modem because the Great Firewall slows down your connection so much.
