China becomes more capitalist, it will become more free.

Not in my lifetime! Wasn't Richard Nixon saying the same things a "few" years ago? How many more decades? It's wishfull thinking.

Only in the last ten years, say, has China shown any real change in its economic policies.

Yes, China abolished government owned farming in the 80s, but look at its progress since joining the WTO; frankly amazing. China wants to lure foreign investment. It can't do that with its current system of government. It will change; you cannot have a capitalist society that is not free.
