A host asking you to do something is not Airbnb asking you to do something.

I know in China, the host have to submit a copy of your passport to the government for regulatory reasons. I don't like and I don't want to travel to China for similar reasons (Government is constantly spying on you). But it is not fair to say Airbnb is asking you for your ID.

His point was that they lied about not retaining ID.

It's not the host asking. In China, AirBnB does, it's a passport form in the app you can't skip.
