The Orwellian system of dividing China into 100×100 meter grids for surveillance now includes grid officers in charge of hunting members of banned religious groups

Last February, it was announced in China that grid management will be used to further crack down on illegal religious activities. Each grid will have an “anti-xie-jiao officer,” which would recruit other CCP members into an “anti-xie-jiao volunteer team.” Eventually, team members may become responsible for smaller “grids withing the grids” and carry on the anti-xie-jiao activity there.
Given the fact that younger CCP cadres are already busy with other tasks in the grid, it was recommended to appoint “veteran” or “retired” Party members as anti-xie-jiao grid officers and team members. Their job would be to look for any clue that members of the banned religious groups listed as xie jiao are present in the grid, in which case the police will intervene, and reach all citizens with systematic anti-xie-jiao propaganda. In theory, the xie jiao are those listed as such, including The Church of Almighty God and Falun Gong. In practice, increasingly in China under the banner of the fight against xie jiao all forms of “illegal” religions are targeted.
It is difficult for those unfamiliar with the Chinese policy of surveillance to understand how extensive and intrusive the grid model is. It was first introduced in Beijing and Shanghai in 2004, and gradually is being implemented nationwide. Its implementation was greatly accelerated under President Xi Jinping. Its basic principle is that surveillance through technology—which today is of course much more totalitarian than in 2004—is not enough, and will never replace surveillance through human beings. Each street, each building should be watched by CCP members working as eyes and ears of the Party.

Again I saw all the oppressions that take place under the sun: the tears of the victims with none to comfort them! From the hand of their oppressors comes violence, and there is none to comfort them! And those now dead, I declared more fortunate in death than are the living to be still alive. And better off than both is the yet unborn, who has not seen the wicked work that is done under the sun. Then I saw that all toil and skillful work is the rivalry of one person with another. This also is vanity and a chase after wind.
