Interesting. I suspect that in Russia and China there’s a fair bit of self-censorship going on as a result of their restrictions. Which implies that if the UK proceeds down this path, there would be a lagging drop in arrests (once people get the hint after a few well publicised incidents).
Now, there is one big issue for a couple of countries and that's that Russia and China probably don't report on the same level as the UK and Germany though for the UK, not all jurisdictions returned an answer, so the stats are likely higher for the UK. Then again in Russia, you can comment all you want if you avoid the one subject, well, maybe two subjects.
