I think he may have been referring to China dealing with its OWN population, as they already have great practice at suppressing and oppressing it. Since Chinese citizens can't own firearms, they have no real way to fight back. Where as here in the US, not only do we have a much more open style of government (may not be perfect, but nothing is), LOTS of citizens here own firearms of all shapes and sizes. This protects us both from our own government doing anything hugely stupid, and foreign invaders (someone, i forget who, once said that if someone were to invade the US they would find a rifle behind every blade of grass)
