  Cringe.

  Where did you get "China enjoys greater freedom than America" from "I can do this one thing in China more easily than in SF"? It's true, by the way. I was in SF for a week a few months ago and the constant need to watch what I say was exhausting. I couldn't even joke around with my gay friend because people were getting offended on his behalf, much to his dismay.

      From the clarification question or from the anecdote of me having to tiptoe around my friends in case unrelated people got offended?

  what exactly is wrong with his argument? He is saying groupthink is bad.

  Chinese markets do have greater freedoms up until the point you start making money and noise. Then the gov-backed vultures start swooping in and pull their mafia moves. Without fair representation in the courts and judicial independence this problem will never be resolved and China will always be taking 1 step back for every 2 steps forward. Hong Kong is a better example, they consistently rank #1 in the world in economic freedom and their economy skyrocketed as a result.

  Not America, but San Francisco specifically. It's an article about how he feels stifled by SF culture.
