Some potential reasons not mentioned in the article: Electronics have become cheaper. Cars are harder to steal. Criminals can commit crimes online instead. We possess less objects as more things become digitized. Improved welfare programs.

I don't get why this is a big deal. If the people don't have anything to hide, they shouldn't be worried. That they're so concerned is highly suspicious and indicative of loose morals. China is just protecting its nation
