Sorry what are we talking about? Aren't you the guy who like two comments below this agrees it's probably the UK by a per citizen margin?
London is literally third on the list bud. And of course, we have to consider the lack of transparency of the US regime here as well.
Who is first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth?
Also what's the overall population of China vs the overall population of the UK?
C'mon man there's no argument here. Just stop.
When you definitely understand how per capita works. 🤣
There is an estimated 500 cameras per 1000 people in China vs 100 per 1000 people in the UK.
You can try to skew the stastic by trying to hammer on London, the most populated city, but you know you're just lying lol. I'm not arguing with you, you're arguing with the truth.
I'm done here, you're disingenuous and don't understand numbers I guess or population density.
I love how you keep digging in here. Turns out that the amount of cameras in China is very comparable with UK with London being right up there with Chinese cities. Instead of admitting being wrong, you just continued to double down and making a further clown of yourself. The utter lack of self awareness here is really a cherry on top.
Whatever liar lmfao
I love how you trolls always end up throwing a tantrum when called out on your bullshit. Keep on malding it suits you.
Whatever liar
thought you were done, but I guess you just can't shut up having been caught lying can you
