According to their doing, they helped us to gain freedom. Now they are still doing that. But we think the freedom is not same as you have. You use your standard to judge our freedom. It is unfair.

whoa Billy.
I know it's not your main language but, when you use english to communicate, the word freedom has a defined meaning. That's what a dictionary is for.
Sure, we compare (judge) how much freedom you have by what we learn about how people live in China. We learn this from many sources. By coming to the Cellar you give us another source.
In the US we have lost some freedoms just because of the population density. Sometimes they pass laws so that really stupid people don't hurt anyone else. BUT, compared to other places in the world, we still have a great deal of freedom.
To say it is unfair to compare(judge) how much freedom you have in China, to what we have, is not true. There is nothing unfair about making comparisons.
You may have 10 times as much freedom as you had a few years ago but you still have a ways to go. There are a lot of countries that give their people more freedom than China.
That's not being judgemental or unfair. Simply comparing.
There are countries that have more freedom and a lower standard of living. Freedom does not guarantee a full belly.
