@boredabroad_: Amongst other reasons 🤫 🤣 China feels like one of the safest countries I’ve travelled through… and after a while you start noticing why. It’s not just that there are CCTV cameras everywhere in China, it’s the amount of them. In the UK you might see one camera on a street corner. Here, there’ll be four cameras attached to the same pole… then another set directly across the road. Train stations, apartment blocks, traffic lights, convenience stores — the surveillance in China is on another level. Walking through cities like Guangzhou and Chongqing, at 2am feels strangely normal because violent crime rates in China are incredibly low compared to a lot of Western countries. People leave scooters unlocked, phones sitting on tables, and nobody seems remotely stressed about it. But the trade-off is obvious. China’s facial recognition systems and AI surveillance technology are some of the most advanced in the world. As a traveller, its hard to not notice And I always get nervous after staring directly at them 😆 You do start wondering though… are people behaving because they’re respectful, or because 400 cameras just watched them buy noodles? Either way, China is one of the safest and most technologically advanced places I’ve visited — just don’t expect to disappear into the crowd.

作为一个中国人，其实对我们而言摄像头反而会带来安全感。我不愿意在没有摄像头的地方，如果出现了某些突发情况，比如遇到讹人者或者纠纷，摄像头的录像是最有力的证据。如果出现事故，摄像头也有助于将其解决

gugula :

有趣的是，伦敦是世界上摄像头密度最高的城市😂

Thomas - photography :

public safety > your privacy

MaxBlu :

crime in china is at the same level as in Sweden, and Sweden does not have the same amount of cameras per capita 😜😜😜

王 一 比 :

CCTV have everywhere in china

mraj52911 :

西方公共场所的摄像头是民主自由的摄像头吗？

BILLS🇨🇳 :

Ayook Jason :

As a tourist, why should you pay attention to cameras?

peach01238 :

The aim of a society is to provide a safe environment for the people. In this respect China has achieved a fundamental requirement for its people. Other nations need to take note and be as good as China

有監視器的地方，才有安全感。

THEO :

Top Cities by Geographic Density (Cameras per Square Kilometer) If population is removed from the equation and cities are ranked purely by how tightly packed cameras are within a physical space, the geographic footprint changes the hierarchy significantly: Dubai (UAE): Ranks near the absolute top for spatial density, with core urban areas packing up to 800 cameras per square kilometer. Seoul (South Korea): Averages roughly 281 cameras per square kilometer, showing an incredibly tight spatial distribution. Washington, D.C. (USA): Features one of the tightest government-controlled surveillance footprints in the West, reaching about 171 cameras per square kilometer.

F🧚 :

You really think we don’t have this amount of cctv in London 😂

aaronwang1991 :

伦敦的密度其实比中国高得多。

瞄了个咪 :

how about London 😂😂😂

esuranku :

If only the US can install more cameras like this. I wouldn't mind it in public spaces like this bcuz I have zero desire in committing any crimes and would actually feel safer

user199339050461294 :

I love these surveillance cameras. I am a good citizen, I don’t mind at all

我是中国人，我们大部分人都认为，不要去往没有摄像头的地方那里可能会有危险，所以在我们看来有摄像头的地方更有安全感
