You are talking about the car right?
Almost all the Chinese people around these parts drive BMW, Benz, etc. My friend from China says it's because they are much more expensive in China, and so when they come here, it's like a "good deal" to them.
I don't know where you're getting this "freedom" thing from... just sounds like nationalist tripe to me.
I don't know many Chinese people who drive American vehicles, let alone Buicks.
