history does not repeat it rhymes

The US continues to have the most pervasive mass surveillance infrastructure, and the most people detained on earth, approximately 25% of all of the planet's prisoners. But China bad. Sure. Yanks are pure cope.

Absolutely. The one of the biggest differences in the US is fair trials and innocence until proven guilty. We are tracked quite a bit, but not as much of it can be used against us, yet.

Fair trial is a thing in China (maybe not in political circles, like almost every country in the world), it's not at all like people think, if you are an average citizen that have a conflict in business or your landlord doesn't want to give back your deposit or you've done something illegal then clearly it's mostly fair justice, even firing staff is complicated in China, labor laws are pretty strong in general.
