China wants the USA to lose the AI competition. Flock cameras are risky for China’s/Russia’s/UK’s/Iran’s militant groups wreaking havoc in the U.S. It has nothing to do with the aforementioned entities being against surveillance of course, but the surveillance is in the wrong hands in the U.S. until the communists control the surveillance. There in lies the problems that these anti-American communists have with these two (and other) technologies here.
China has around 600 data centers. We have thousands. They have already lost.
