I think that until not too long ago it was much the same in Taiwan, that 
bastion of aggressively anti-Communist "freedom", with which the USA has 
an unofficial but "special" relationship: neither has an official 
Consulate in each other's country, but each has an office that does 
everything an official Consulate would do. A regime doesn't have to be 
Communist to be totalitarian.
