In an analysis for The Wilson Center, Greitens found that as of late 2019 China had exported surveillance technology platforms for use in policing and public safety to more than 80 countries. Understanding this dynamic has become even more critical as surveillance technology used in China begins to be adopted elsewhere in the world. “Most democracies have those transparency and accountability systems in some form, though they aren’t perfect, especially with rapidly evolving technologies and in crisis situations.” “Government transparency and accountability mechanisms are necessary for the state’s activities to be legible and accountable to citizens,” Greitens adds. Problems arise, however, when that citizen-to-state legibility is not paired with equal visibility into how the information collected via surveillance is used. “Surveillance is an overall project to make citizens highly legible to the party-state.” Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. China is building so-called safe cities, which integrate data from intrusive surveillance systems to predict and prevent everything from fires to natural disasters and political dissent.”Ĭhina has figured out how to entwine surveillance with digital governance “not only to calibrate coercion and repression, but also to provide public services and to co-opt citizens,” says Sheena Chestnut Greitens, associate professor at the Lyndon B. The central bank is adopting digital currency, which will allow Beijing to surveil-and control-people’s financial transactions. “Chinese authorities use technology to control the population all over the country in subtler but still powerful ways. “The mass surveillance programs in Xinjiang are China’s most visible and intrusive, but they are just one end of a spectrum,” wrote Maya Wang, China senior researcher for Human Rights Watch, in a piece for Foreign Affairs. And nowhere is the power of this system more on display than in the Xinjiang region to monitor approximately 13 million Turkic Muslims-Uyghurs-through mobile apps, biometric data collection, artificial intelligence, and more. Now, China has a vast surveillance infrastructure made up from video systems, Internet monitoring, tracking, and more. Strider combines open-source data, proprietary risk methodology, and subject-matter expertise to provide organizations direct visibility into the tactics, techniques, and procedures that lead to state-sponsored IP theft.
