Is surveillance in China really that bad or is it just propaganda? (lemmygrad.ml)

China is always used as the primary example of a surveillance state, people constantly talk about how dystopian it is and how everything you do in public or online is tracked. I have always been skeptical about these claims and know how hypocritical they are because of the amount of surveillance that happens in the west but I want to know if China is really that bad in regards to privacy.

Yes.

But don’t think Western nations, especially the US is any better… except China isn’t famous for assassinating people advocating for change in public and DEFINITELY have never dropped C4 out of a helicopter because some people had differing political views.
