But surely almost all of the above, while theoretically a possible future issue in the USA, is day-to-day reality in Russia and China already.

Presumably the commenter is physically out of reach of the Russian and Chinese governments, and being the victim of regime change in the US is more likely than being invaded by the other two.
Basically this scenario comes to mind :
a) A power change occurs within a government. This power change facilitates the changing of laws.
b) A corporation with massive stores of information about individuals is within this government.
c) New government doesn't like X people because they aren't Y people. New government coerces corporation within legal boundaries to fess up data on X people.
d) New government does horrible things using list provided by and facilitated by corporation, through no direct fault of that corporation other than the happenstance of existing within a country with ever-changing laws and regulation.
