I'm not sure America is as different from China as you seem to imply here. You don't manage to incarcerate more individuals than "an authoritarian communist dictatorship" four times your size without massively scaling the state's ability to monitor citizens. 20% of the world's prisoners are in America. Is spying a consistent Orwellian feature of American capitalism?
