These statements are not equivalent. No one is disputing that cops surveil people. The question is, are they using the same tools that China is? That's what the person you're respnding to thinks the Economist needs to back up.

The comment by rkrzr rather was about the tools being effective: > Of course the governments implementing the surveillance regimes will claim that it's effective, but it's the media's job to actually verify the veracity of these claims.
