If they are threatening to suspend business w/a billion dollar conglomerate for one lone exec's comments, freedom of thought is NOT on the country's agenda. This is a paranoid nation looking to seize control of everything they see because of their fear, just like any personality disordered individual. And the corporate world's greed for their billion+ consumers has pushed governments to compromise their phony values in order to gain access.
This is a fairly black and white perspective, and not at all based in reality. China is far from a perfect nation, but there can be no doubt that economically there has been a dramatic shift and it is far from say, Soviet Russia, and where capitalism goes, human rights generally follow.
