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.

No it isn't, it stands to reason that if they are committing a lot of abuses there's going to be a lot of footage of it just like there is in the US, considering how many people in China walk around with smart phones and it isn't some cloistered off hermit kingdom.
Not probably, the number of people killed by police in China is very typically single digits for an entire year, compared to almost 1,000 a year in the US, and thats with China having 4 times as many people. So it's a difference of like 400x.
I do agree that interrogation video is messed up and an abuse of power, and definitely worthy of criticism. I would just caution against drawing an equivalence between the US and China on this issue, I don't think they are in the same ballpark. From what I have heard from people in China they're not even close to as bad as US police.
