Though he did clarify they don't have a worse police state than the US. He just both-sides it.

Edit - It's a law of hexbear that every discussion must turn into a struggle session. Especially if the discussion involves China.

    Yeah, I'm a good old boy from the Eastern US lol. If I can get over my national chauvinism and understand that the order of magnitude of the issues at play here are incomparable, I can't think of any other demographic that should get a pass.

    Like holy shit people, most cops in China don't even carry weapons and they're a significantly smaller portion of the population. They're basically organized in the way the most radical US police reform proposals suggest.

      Not most cops, all normal cops don't carry guns. Only the armed police can carry one, and they are quite uncommon. I have personally never seen one, and I live in the capital of China. Comparing China to the US in terms of police brutality, or police state is a big joke. Cops are a joke in China, and I mean it in the good sense.
