Really? This doesn't stand up as a comparison. In so far as there are shitty unwarranted consequences for unwanted actions in the west it is similar, but that is human nature (and possibly even wider than that).
The difference is that china is implementing a centralised, state controlled system. Which will elevate the minor tyranny of some obnoxious policy in some organisation to an unchecked and magnified universal tyranny. This is precisely why we need checks, balances and distribution of power, because the elite minority cannot be trusted.

I don't agree with the Chinese system either, but I don't see a good look in the mirror being a bad thing here either as that there are very real world consequences in the west penalizing doing the right thing.
