Not only in China. Even America has more than 2 million Targeted Individuals. Even ACLU reported the terrorist watch list are so full of mistakes. The Patriot Act/FISA is being used to abuse and torture innocent civilians via 24/7 covert organized stalking using technologies like remote neural monitoring, voice to skull (v2k), directed energy. There are no more terrorist but in order to bloat the funding they guised "national security" but they use it for personal vendetta, targeting whistleblowers, activists, dissidents. The fusion centers which hire lowlives and criminals operate in hate/slander/smear campaign and act with impunity and get away with murder in destroying innocent peoples lives.

Reply to this commentAnd as China's influence grows because it holds no moral criteria for doing business with a nation, so all the despots of the world will also put Chinese cameras to use. By 2050 China will not have become freer because it was granted WTO status but rather the world will have become less free.

Reply to this comment@Anonymous Reader, you are very right. This type of surveillance already exists in the west. However, China is testing it out first, after which it will be rolled out worldwide within the next 10-20 years.

Reply to this commentEven the leaders are brainwashed, they grew up under Mao. The cultural revolution completed the madness of this state cult.

Reply to this commentBrainwashing and total surveillance does sound like a bad cult to me.

Reply to this commentThe issues are complex.
They deserve subtle and careful comment.
I must remark that, using the template of English history since 1066 the days of the absolute monarch are talked about in the past tense.
Mr Putin and my Xi, like Mr Kim serve at the pleasure of their subjects.
The BBC implies that London,UK is the go to place to dump money.

Reply to this commentWell thank goodness we real leaders like Clinton, bush and Obama for the past 25 years! Otherwise our government would be on track to do to America what the communist party has done in China.
Oh yeah, wait a minute...

Reply to this commentThe Chinese government will have to hire millions of people to sit around watching everyone else, and who will watch the watchers? This move will hasten the ultimate splintering of the Chinese nation and create the instability the Chinese government seeks to prevent. Idiocy

Reply to this commentDictators are evil cruel people who can only become MORE evil and cruel as time goes by. Xi is a demonized creature that will make Mao look like a choir boy.

Reply to this commentThe western world is guilty of extreme surveillance as well, they're just less public about it...what do you think your smart phones and tv's are doing? It's likely that China is actually following in the footsteps of countries like the US and UK

Reply to this commentAre you trying to make yourself feel better.Like if all the world is bad were not soooo bad. No America is not as bad as China because we have a decent GOD fearing man as President, for now. Whereas Xi is deadly dangerous because he fears his own people and thinks HE is God.

When the Chi-comms, the "biggest mass murderers in human history" (they have killed more of their own people than Hitler and Stalin COMBINED) do anything AT ALL, I am suspicious. But this, is horrifying.
Thought Police and Telescreens which are "always on" and are all tied into a central database, run by murderous commies... Remind you of anything?
Xi "Winnie the Pooh" Jinping, and the Party, are truly the enemy of the Chinese people.
