controlled media - check
government interference in all capitalist ventures - soon to be check

#4  Not the New America. Something different entirely.

Something fundamental that seems to have disappeared from the American environment. The Chinese also don't seemed tied down with the 'victim' culture to retard or inhibit things that need to be done.
