Except they aren't in fear.

The general attitude of Chinese people that I speak to is that they are good but lots of other Chinese people are bad/don't follow rules. I constantly have Chinese people trying to protect me from other Chinese people that they are worried will try to take advantage of me.

It seems to be like breaking road rules. Everyone justifies themselves when they do it but other people are bad drivers when they break rules.

The general idea is that surveillance isn't for them but for other Chinese people which they are fine with.
