In China big brother is always watching, just like in the book 1984 by George Orwell. I recommend watching the BBC News video.

BBC News - In Your Face: China’s all-seeing state

China has been building what it calls "the world's biggest camera surveillance network". Across the country, 170 million CCTV cameras are already in place and an estimated 400 million new ones will be installed in the next three years.

Many of the cameras are fitted with artificial intelligence, including facial recognition technology. The BBC's John Sudworth has been given rare access to one of the new hi-tech police control rooms.

Another problem with China is their out-of-control internet censorship. Also, China is not a democracy.

In America we have freedom of speech, the government doesn't watch us, there is no censorship, and we can vote. The government works for us and we can fire the president and everyone else every 4 years.

China is probably an interesting place to live and make lots of money but I prefer being a free person here in America.
