People are going to react to this with a knee-jerk "nuh uh!" because you're being a smug reddituer about it, but I'm going to take a different approach. China actually invests in its infrastructure so obviously it's going to have more and newer cameras, simply because it's actually building and expanding. In China you might be surveilled in one of the more than 1000 high speed rail stations. In the UK it might be in one of four, or more likely a low speed train station. In the US it might be a bus station.

That's the difference. When countries are growing and building, they're installing cameras. Every country is going to install more and more cameras forever, the only countries that won't are the ones that are in decline. China is growing and building faster than anyone, so they're going to have more cameras. This needs to be taken into account.
