#MassSurveillance
In the era of surveillance, face-recognising cameras intrude ou rlives. Have you wondered, how close are we to mass surveillance?

This photo was taken at Tai Po Complex in Hong Kong. Hikvision cameras are placed in the entrances and exits to monitor the temperature of passersby.

The US government had blacklisted this company earlier because it worked with the CCP to monitor minorities in Xinjiang with its face recognising technology.

In this sick city, we are only one step away from the digital prison.

China-owned #Dahua Sees Human Rights Sanction as Proof of Technology

On October 15, less than a week after the US sanctioned Dahua and #Hikvision for human rights abuses, Dahua VP Zhu Jiangming told the PRC's National Business Daily:

"The fact that we are under the US control list shows that we indeed have a strong technological capability."

Zhu is executive VP of Dahua, a co-founder of the firm and the executive director of Leap Motor, a PRC electric car startup founded and run by Dahua executives.

Dahua has by far the largest documented presence of any surveillance provider in Xinjiang, having directly won almost $1 billion of surveillance projects with authorities there - significantly higher than Hikvision's ~$300m.

All these massive projects began as the PRC government began building up a "total surveillance state" in the region while detaining one million minorities in re-education camps.

FTSE Russell to drop eight Chinese firms after U.S. blacklisting

Index provider FTSE Russell said they would delete shares of video security firm Hikvision and seven other Chinese companies from certain products after a U.S. order restricting purchase of their shares.

A spokesman for owner London Stock Exchange Group FTSE Russell said it acted on feedback from index subscribers and other stakeholders, and was following its policy when sanctions are imposed that restrict investments. He added that deletions from its FTSE Global Equity Index Series and several others would take effect on Dec. 21.

“We would expect all index providers to ultimately remove some Chinese securities in an effort to comply with the U.S. restrictions,” Todd Rosenbluth, head of ETF and mutual fund research for CFRA, said via e-mail.
