You call that freedom?

As you may know, clean laundry is a point of pride to the Chinese. Every apartment and housing unit has a line hanging with drying laundry. We mentioned to our Chinese guide, Hannah, that our neighborhood at home has rules against hanging laundry outside in the yard. She was flabbergasted, saying, "but that is your place! Chinese can do what they want in their own place!" So much for democratic freedoms!
