This news receives way less attention than it should have. Obviously, #Beijing focusing on tracking different ethnicity isn't only eyeing on people within the country but the world. Although China has only enlisted Chinese surveillance companies, the surveillance camera is sold world wide. Those cameras would be installed with a backdoor which connects to PLA's servers.
Without monitoring nor ethical constraint, China is already a leader in big data & #AI. We all know how #Uyghurs are monitored & are put into #reeducationcamps. If these technologies are used with the purpose of #genocide, if not already have, the outcome will be unimaginable. Before you know it, Chinese global domination is already knocking at your door.

Despite other countries urging #HKGov to open its border, they insist on "COVID ZERO" policy which highly affect the economy & citizens' daily lives. #CarrieLam insists that the policy will probably continue until Nov next year.
Many blame #HKGov is constrained by #Beijing & care about what #CCP wants rather than what #HKers need. The effect of the policy is actually closing the HK's border, which keeps people from leaving or entering the city & turn #HK into a massive jail. If this is indeed what Beijing's plan is for Hong Kong, the situation of the city will be very similar to #Tibet & #XiJiang.
