Let's get some stuff straight first. China 100% does every one of those things. Do you not remember the enforced lockdowns of their citizens? Them screaming for help, that they are starving and dying during the COVID lockdowns? So you not remember them breaking into people's homes and dragging them out? It was like a horror story.
China is literally one of the most surveiled countries in the world. Over 50% of the CCTV's in the entire world can be found in China.
I'm not going to sit here and say that the US is some role model country (because it's absolutely not), but your being reckless if you think that China is somehow better.
That said, bettering the planet and not wanting a authoritian government aren't mutually exclusive...
China the most surveilled nation? The US has the largest number of CCTV cameras per capita
Your source is literally from China mate. No way that they'd have a pro-China viewpoint.
Atleast mines from the UK: Source
And they estimate that number to be over 540 million cameras nationwide...or around 373 cameras per 1,000 people.
Lmao "your source is from China so it's not truthful, mine is from the UK, they wouldn't lie or misrepresent facts about their official enemy".
