I fly regularly on domestic flights in China and was recently on a flight where a uniformed air marshal was patrolling the aisle enforcing the rules on behavior. Mostly to do with cell phone and iPad usage but it was intimidating, to say the least. Cameras are used everywhere in China, your being watched 24/7, it’s simply a fact of life. The internet is severely restricted. No one argues with the government, you follow the rules and do what your told.
