@bloodravenlib @lovelaughlive China isn't angelic, but the government there clearly does a far better job working in the interest of the majority than any western government.
Meanwhile, it's pretty clear that people in the west are just as surveiled as people in China. Just look at what we know from Snowden leaks. Arguably, it's even worse because bulk of the surveillance is done by private interests that sell the information to the government as well as anyone else who'll pay.
