Q: Billions of Chinese people’s data was leaked recently. It shows that the government has stored all their people’s private information, including their genes, private life, hobbies, shopping lists, you can name it. In term of law enforcement, their police can easily prevent potential criminal activities and solve criminal cases. Chinese people feel more secure under this strict management. Nevertheless, democratic countries are more concerned about their people’s privacy. Without privacy, freedom and democracy will not be guaranteed in the capitalism society. As ordinary people, we need both security and privacy. It’s terrible that a government tries to control everything, from their body to their mind. It’s not health either that a government cannot do anything to prevent their citizens from gunshot. What is an ideal political system? I think we will never have a perfect system in the human society. We are just looking for a relatively better society to live. 聼起來自然嗎?

Q: Billions of dollars worth of cocaine was being grown there, and smuggled into the United States, some of it via Panama.

I found the sentence above.
1) Billions of dollars worth of cocaine means cocaine that is worth billions of dollars? Like, you want them even by paying billions of dollars?
2) some of 'it' seems grammatically wrong. Shouldn't it be like some of 'which'? 聼起來自然嗎?

A: 1) an amount of cocaine that is worth billions of dollars. it's not about what the writer wants, it's about the price of it in general. it's basically saying "a lot of cocaine"
