Are you kidding?

China's mass surveillance and censorship network is pervasive, all-encompassing, widely publicized, and an intrinsic aspect of their state apparatus.

It's not even remotely comparable to 'license plate monitoring' in scale, scope, politicization, repercussions.

This level of relativistic rhetoric is anti-intellectual.

The comment was in reference to South Korea, not to China.

At least that is how I read it.
