The US is forcing its tourists to give away a list of all their social media accounts and all their email accounts. If you're a foreign journalist writing pseudonymously for your safety, you must now share that information with the US government to enter the country. This isn't quite on the level of forcing people to install malware on their phone yet, but give it a couple years.

To clarify, in China, one could get "disappeared" for the rest of his/her life, just because of befriending CCP's "enemies", or speaking up against the official rhetoric.
I don't think the two countries are even remotely comparable on this front.

China is definitely worse than America in that regard as far as we can tell, but lets not forget Guantanamo Bay and America taking suspects to be tortured overseas.
