I was specifically calling out the hypocrisy of the USA’s excuses to do imperialism. With that said though, it is now clear as day that while China has the ability to do what the USA is doing technologically, they are using that surveillance more sparingly and for better reasons than the USA. It’s not in China that masked thugs are scanning you with their phones hoping to lock you up in some undocumented place and then either keep you there or send you to a random country away from your family.
I’m not a fan of mass surveillance in any case, but it’s just so hilariously ironic that the same people who fearmongered 24/7 in their media about China being this panopticon dystopia, are the same ones now exceeding this in every way imaginable, far surpassing the imagination of fiction like 1984 or Black Mirror.
Kind of like how a lot of the same people who were screaming and going crazy about the Patriot Act 20 years ago are the same ones who want to defend Flock cameras.
It’s hilarious if you believe this, the USA is a surveillance state, sure, but China is clearly not any better. They have cameras everywhere and extremely advanced surveillance tech.
China was doing that kinda thing in Hong Kong not that long ago. Killing protestors, disappearing people, attacking journalists and doctors. They just aren’t right now. They are srill that bad.

And yet China is a much safer country than the US.
The longer you refuse to accept reality, the worse your situation will keep getting
Yeah, China does it without masking themselves.
