In China, the state has you under constant surveillance. In the West, corporations have you under constant surveillance.

Neither the CCP nor our corporate overlords are answerable to citizens.

I believe the US constitution guarantees the right to seek happiness.

Who is happier - your average Chinese, or your average American? (I'll throw in your average European, too.)

Last I knew, the average American was well below the average European (although the gap is narrowing, the Americans are dragging us down). I don't know about the Chinese, but I doubt they're in third place ...

Cheers,
Wol

You're thinking of the Declaration of Independence. The closest the Constitution gets are the amendments that state that government cannot deprive a person of life, liberty, or property (5th and 14th).
