If you compare UK with China then what is next, North Korea? What is the point of mentioning China, is relevant to the discussion? Is China a model of great society and personal freedoms that other countries should follow?
- ng12 5y agoNo, the PRC is a model of a digitally-forward authoritarian regime and we should be shocked that a Western Democracy is behaving similarly.

However, I don’t know what will work in the long-run. There’s a lot of things I don’t like about China, but it has done a lot of things right. I also know they have fairly different values to the west, allegedly, a lot more weight put in the wellbeing of the collective, even at the expense of the individual. So I bring China not as to put UK in a worse light, but to put an example of countries implementing these sort of systems of surveillance and enforcement.
