    I’ll tell you more, the UK is one of the leading countries in cameras per capita, either installed or accessible by the authorities (not sure about exact details). They built government surveillance without any communism in sight.

    (Leaving alone that China’s state capitalism is the opposite of communism.)

      In 2023, China had over 700 million cameras tracking the population.

      That’s one camera for every two citizens.

      But yes the UK is also building a surveillance state.
