g3nt00r rated 5 weeks ago- Interesting.

Mystakaphoros rated 5 weeks ago- From the page: "The crackdown in Tibet has set off a wave of righteous rallies and boycott calls. But it sidesteps the uncomfortable fact that much of China's powerful surveillance state is already being built with U.S. and European technology."

BiosyntheticLife rated 6 weeks ago- Naomi Klein exposes how China is doing massive social engineering experiments to improve their police state capabilities to maximize profits and to eliminate protest or dissent.

amysayrawr rated 7 weeks ago- Naomi Klein on China's Golden Shield of surveillance technology.

autorave rated 7 weeks ago- Now, as China prepares to showcase its economic advances during the upcoming Olympics in Beijing, Shenzhen is once again serving as a laboratory, a testing ground for the next phase of this vast social experiment. Over the past two years, some 200,000 surveillance cameras have been installed throughout the city. Many are in public spaces, disguised as lampposts. The closed-circuit TV cameras will soon be connected to a single, nationwide network, an all-seeing system that will be capable of tracking and identifying anyone who comes within its range -- a project driven in part by U.S. technology and investment. Over the next three years, Chinese security executives predict they will install as many as 2 million CCTVs in Shenzhen, which would make it the most watched city in the world. (Security-crazy London boasts only half a million surveillance cameras.)

meatbot rated 7 weeks ago- This article is way to long for me to read at this time of night. My rational self is tell me not to do so. I WILL read it later. For now: anyone with time please read and enjoy.

Patcalled rated 7 weeks ago- The workers at FSAN don't just make surveillance cameras; they are constantly watched by them. While they work, the silent eyes of rotating lenses capture their every move. When they leave work and board buses, they are filmed again. When they walk to their dormitories, the streets are lined with what look like newly installed streetlamps, their white poles curving toward the sidewalk with black domes at the ends. Inside the domes are high-resolution cameras, the same kind the workers produce at FSAN. Some blocks have three or four, one every few yards. One Shenzhen-based company, China Security & Surveillance Technology, has developed software to enable the cameras to alert police when an unusual number of people begin to gather at any given location.

squidteeth rated 7 weeks ago- LOOT, RIOT, LOOT AND RIOT, RIOT AND LOOT.

delamettrie rated 7 weeks ago- China is building a high-tech police state under a massive surveillance and censorship program: "Golden Shield," linking surveillance cameras, the Internet, phones, facial-recognition software, voice recognition data from phone calls, GPS monitoring, and facial photos into a centralized database for every person in China--1.3 billion faces. Some 200,000 surveillance cameras have already been installed throughout the city of Shenzhen, with a total of 2 million CCTVs planned, making it the most watched city in the world. It will be connected to a single, nationwide network, an all-seeing eye.
