Why Health Code is worse than National Security Law
Part 4/4.
A researcher of the Human Rights Watch once said, “the outbreak of Coronavirus is becoming a milestone for China to carry out large scale surveillance.” (n.b. China has recently sanctioned the Chief Executive of Human Rights Watch.)
The long-deployed social credit system in China failed to perform rigorous surveillance, which was criticized for giving rise to “loopholes” during epidemic outbreak.
When designing Health Code, it was meant to gear up suvellience control. Its encroachment to people's privacy is appreciably worse than social credit system.
Today the government may collect your health data, personal data, and details of daily activity for Health Code. Soon afterwards, collecting people's vital data, contents of their online chats will no longer be a fantasy Arabian Nights.
Once the Health Code is put in place, you do not need a prison cell to be imprisoned as your home will become a prison, sparing also court deliberations.
"Want to go out? Denied. … A red health code! "
"Want to ride a car? Denied. … A red health code!"
"Want to go shopping? Denied. … A red health code!"
Compred to Health Code, the detriment of National Security Law is nothing at all.

AC2 Canteen newly installed thermometer has facial recognition function, and raises concerns for safety and privacy
(18 Aug) AC2 Canteen reopened on 13 Aug, and has thermometer installed at the entrance, to check the body temperature of visitors.
Different from the other thermometers in the campus, this thermometer checks and indicates visitors’ body temperature by taking photos. When the thermometer is in operation, the monitor displays the below message, ‘Welcome, face recognising.’ as it is testing body temperature. After temperature checking is completed, the message ‘Permission to the access.’ is shown. In addition, the hardware setting, ie height and distance of thermometer, is fixed. Thus it might not effectively check the temperature of people of various heights and distance. People who have meal in the canteen expressed the inconvenience of not having any indication of where to stand or distance to keep for such temperature checking.
Thermometer from SenseTime, a Chinese enterprise with multiple projects with Chinese government
Our journalists investigated and reported that such thermometer is manufactured by SenseTime. And products in the same same series can be coupled with its door lock system.
SenseTime is an Artificial intelligence startup company established by Prof Tang Xiaoou and his team in the CUHK School of Engineering.
The Company was founded in Beijing at the end of 2014, with full name ‘SenseTime Group Limited’. Its business involves graphical processing, facial recognition, auto-pilot, augmented reality, deep learning, and big data analysis, etc.
SenseTime is also a well known Chinese IT enterprise, and has consistently supported and worked with the government on the social credit / surveillance system in China. Surveillance examples include banning smoking in Metro, identifying people who violate traffic rules or have outstanding loans, etc. The US government has blacklisted this corporation under Export Administration Regulations. Unless endorsed by the US government, the enterprises on this Entity List are forbidden from trading with any US enterprise.
In some cities in China, the metro stations have such facial recognition terminals installed at the metro entrances, to assist passengers to use metro service. Such service is dubbed as the ‘metro Face credit’ and with aim to reduce service time compared with using ordinary metro cards.

內地「人臉識別」漸普及 帶個頭出街便可吃飯坐車 驗證僅需10秒
在內地，出門沒帶錢或信用卡，你都可以暢通無阻，皆因內地近年大力發展人工智能（AI）產業，以人臉識別技術，靠「刷臉」就能買到車票、乘地鐵，以至到商店購物，便利大眾生活。連年輕人愛用的拍照手機程式，都應用了人臉識別，這個技術在日常中可謂無孔不入。隨技術而來的，是上千萬計的鏡頭在公眾地方湧現。令人擔心，當局會利用技術監控人民一舉一動，私隱盡失，活現著名小說《一九八四》中「老大哥正看着你」的世界。記者：梁爽爽 編輯：張衍禎 攝影：張衍禎

#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.

It’s time to talk about China
China is a global giant, second only to the United States. Unlike the United States, however, China is led by a secretive and sinister dictatorship that has shown itself to regard life as cheap.
I will be focussing a great deal on this hugely significant nation in the coming weeks and months. You can find all of that focus documented here.
