So "leading surveillance systems in the world" means:

1. Who "started it" 2. How long they've been doing it 3. Percentage of people affected by it (not number!)

In other words, you worked backwards to produce vague descriptions of metrics by which your point would be true. If it weren't for the fact that these vague metrics in no way support your assertion.

Not just who started. The quality and sophistication.

Yes. What else would it be? What other metric would you use?

"Leading" implies, to me, sophistication, how widespread it is, and how many people it impacts.
