'The Perfect Police State': China's Digital Dictatorship Goes Global
CBN News ^ | 10-08-2021 | George Thomas

China has more than 415 million surveillance cameras deployed throughout the country, making its population by far the world's most-watched.

And now Beijing is using digital currency, social security cards, social credit systems and online interactions to keep an even closer eye on its citizens.

"It is a massive dragnet based on artificial intelligence, facial recognition, voice recognition, these are all novel technologies that the Chinese communist party is deploying against its people," said Geoffrey Cain.

"That type of technology being used to throttle internet traffic flows or at times, in Cuba actually, turn off the internet, especially in the early days of the protests down there," said Carmack.

Meanwhile, new research shows that technology made by seven American companies, including IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle, are facilitating China's surveillance of Uighur Muslims with little or no consequences.

"I think that a lot of American companies have been caught with their pants down frankly because they spent the past few decades warming up to China, looking for market and business opportunities, profit opportunities, and now they've realized they're making a deal with the devil," said Cain.

It's a deal that's handing China a treasure trove of data in its quest for global information superiority and digital control over its citizens and those around the world.

Cain, the author of the new book, The Perfect Police State: An Undercover Odyssey into China's Terrifying Surveillance Dystopia of the Future, says the regime first tested this type of surveillance several years ago to monitor Uighurs, an ethnic Muslim group living in the western part of the country.

Cain, the author of the new book, The Perfect Police State: An Undercover Odyssey into China’s Terrifying Surveillance Dystopia of the Future, says the regime first tested this type of surveillance several years ago to monitor Uighurs, an ethnic Muslim group living in the western part of the country.

“It’s a place where everything they do from morning to night, from the moment that they eat breakfast or go to the market, or go to work, everything is monitored by their smartphones, by government cameras everywhere, and nothing is private, nothing is secret, your entire life is exposed,” Cain explained to CBN News.

The book is a good read....I assume the Feds are doing the same thing...why the GOP never says anything the feds know everything there doing..

It’s built into the Chinese chips on your phones. Trump knew that.

Surveillance doesn’t work when the malefactors are lying in the gutter with their brains smashed out.

See Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956, for more detailed instructions.

They'll be held held accountable eventually. I mean look at the punishment we gave IBM for their aid to the holocaust organizers.

These companies began building the Chicom’s Great Firewall 20 years ago.

It’s sick.

It must take 10 million Chinese full-time to monitor their fellow-citizens activities cause no way computers could analyze everything - I don’t think......
