No China just laps entirely. To have such a large population and also dominate the statistic of cameras per 1000 citizens mean they have millions of more cameras.
Have proof for that because I have articles that state the US is ahead per capita and you seem to just be saying things?
However, if you count the number of cameras per capita, the USA leads the race with the highest number of CCTV cameras per person.
"Let’s first look at the top 10 cities with the most CCTV cameras per 1000 inhabitants:
Taiyuan, China – 119.6
Wuxi – China – 92.1
London, United Kingdom – 67.5
Changsha, China – 56.8
Beijing, China – 56.2
Hangzhou, China – 52.3
Kunming, China – 45.0
Qingdao, China – 44.5
Xiamen, China – 40.3
Harbin, China – 39.1
Now, let’s look at the top 10 cities by CCTV density per square km:
Chennai, India – 657
Hyderabad, India – 480
Harbin, China – 411
London, United Kingdom – 399
Xiamen, China – 385
Chengdu, China – 350
Taiyuan, China – 319
Delhi, India – 289
Kunming, China – 281
Beijing, China – 278"
Didn't even read your own link. Doesn't even mention the US, this is about the UK.
I'm done with you liars absolutely humiliating and embarrassing for you. Lmfao
I literally quoted the link? Did you read it or just skip to the city comparison? Illiterate much? "absolutely humiliating and embarrassing for you. Lmfao"
