- A New York Times analysis of over 100,000 government bidding documents found that China’s ambition to collect digital and biological data from its citizens is more expansive and invasive than previously known.

Whether it's reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It's all the news that's fit to watch.
Ten years ago, all of this was shocking. Now it's not even surprising. Dystopia is accelerating.
Disagree. It's still quite surprising and the extent of it is more than I would have guessed.

say anything critical of the west you account or your comment's will mysterious disappear just like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden and many more (who did not make to the news)
@@RabidMortal1 Africa and South America there are much worse dictators that murders thousands of people a day - - Asia especially China (have some of the longest life expectancy, happiness index and support for the government) yet "Asian society" get much much much more funding than the others - - why? because crippling tariff and trade war was placed on Japan on the 1980s when Japan was on the raise, trade war and Technological war against China now, and Asia (or the East is considered a rival to the west)
It has nothing to do how "oppressed you are" "how bad your governments run" you are a rival - that is the reason for the existence of "Asia Society"
You are a rival and you are dealt like a rival.
any idea on how to keep 1000,000,000 -more that 3 times the us- in check? while moving hundred of millions out of poverty?
"Controlling your population is like holding sand in your hands. The stronger you squeeze the more sand falls between your finders. Soon your hands are empty." An old Chinese saying.
Authoritarian imperial rule has worked for China the last three thousand years. Sorta ethnocentric to think your system is the end all be all of civilization.
That's very ironic
Chinese people believe that those cameras are the tools can protect them. That's the reasons why China become more and more safer and less criminals days by days. If majority of people are normal people and living a normal life, why they need to worried about the cameras? there no reasons the government will bother you if you didn't do any illegal things. who really scared about been watched, criminals, traitors and spies. And why the other counties people care more than Chinese themselves?
@@Bruhza5870 Only ironic if China policed the world like the US does. But China has said consistently mind your own business and we will too.
No country remains #1 forever and China has been in both the front and back over the last few millennia more than once. Respecting civilizations different than you is key.
US is more advance in manipulating its citizen

@@larry6601 Why do Chinese trolls take such complex European names?
Smart tvs can watch us and record us
@Hans Otto Kroeger Kaethler But not every street🤦😅😂😂😂 Most surveillance are private and does not connect to the government and have insta information upload😂😂😂😂 Good God!!! Still if you can donate some here in the Philippines and clean up our street and govt of our Drug problems, wouldn't that be nice😂😂😂???
@Hans Otto Kroeger Kaethler Well I wish they would... So at least there would be clean proofs of illegal drug transactions... Many of us had died due to EJK...
@@larry6601 yet its clear that the surveillance data is not used by the CCP.
for almost anything they could be used for.
even places like xinjiang police manually check phones.
they made the phones. the phones have spyware.
looks like china has an understanding that its to much power.
So yeah police and authorities in China still ask people to unlock their phones.
also took months for them to find escape convict.
took a week to find a criminal gang.
dissidents freely use the vpn and criticize the ccp.
so its clear the ccp are not using the surveillance for nefarious or just purposes.
simply surveillance is used for science apparently.
may be to gauge the population.
Now compare that to the West.
Actively using it as a weapon.
CIA is using surveillance to coerce foreign countries, allied or otherwise.
USA has access to every iphone and android phone. that is every phone on the planet.
Those Russian generals in Ukraine never stood a chance.
Every citizen is a suspect, and every suspect is a potential criminal.
so you look at old family pictures and think you're the witch instead of the fire?
Fun fact, though US's population is only 1/4 of China, it has more people in prison than China. It is obvious that who is more likely to be a police country.
Everyone is a potential criminal is true. I see not problem of being cautious.
@@phillip76 problem is when more and more things that used to be acceptable becomes crimes, nobody is truly safe.

I study at a university in China (i currently attend online classes due to covid) and a senior of mine told me that in the campus's canteen, Chinese students can pay for their food just by scanning their faces, no cash, no cards, even no phones needed.
Thought that was pretty scary, but i didn't even think about the infrastructure that enables the whole system... It's absolutely insane
Yet millions of people are happy to use Face ID & fingerprint scanners on iPhones and Androids to pay for stuff. Thanks to Snowden (and it was a decade ago!) we all know what the US is doing with this data. Of course, the US uses it for good purposes only, no doubt ;)
beyond scary
Yes, that tech has been around for two years already
Agreed…. It is scary…. The technology is great for your own financial security. The question is ??? What else are they doing with the information and why ??? The government is spending a lot of money to do all these things… What’s there goal ?? I don’t know how controlled things are there…like, i don’t know if this comment will post….Or if you say something negative about your Great government, if this freedom is allowed or will the police be showing up at your door…. ???
One day I got a defraud call and soon after the police called me trying to convince me not to believe my last phone call，that was the shockest time i felt so
naked
Horrible dystopian implications aside, the amount of data this generates is baffling. The servers needed, and their backups, must consume as much energy as any tiny European country.
They are now having a hard time getting the super processing microchips to process all this information and the companies who made the chips have move back to the USA. China is great at copying technology but not very good at really developing it on their own. We got a man on the Moon in the 1960's and China has still been trying for years. The other problem is China has a policy to make products as cheap as possible so they break and you buy more. That keeps jobs, but also a huge waste of resources and effort. In China they have you do busy work that does nothing than ever having a image of sitting around. It is all about appearances. Well most Americans would rather pay twice as much on a product and have that product last for years instead of just using something for a few weeks or months and then throwing away and rebuying. China is great at just covering up problems, instead of fixing them. For example, they are a environmental mess. But to hide the fact their trees are dead they literally have people stabling plastic leave to the tree. Worse they have even used oil green paint on mountain area so some mountain will look nice and green instead of the eyesore cause by the damage of pretending their is no problem. In China the policy is if you do not see it, it did not happen. Well over 80% of China water is now toxic due to there pollution. The largest river in China also has no water due to drought, other places are flooding and peoples money is dissappearing from their bank account. Then if you were unlucky enought to buy a new condo a few years ago chances is it is still not built and never will be. For many the family saving is now totally gone from these massive corruption scams that the government either lokks away and refuse to get involved or part of it and profitting of the damage happening to it own people.
@@JAM661 thank you for this paragraph, very informative
@@JAM661 Do you have any sources for that
This makes me sick

If this is what we know...

@Islandstyles I can't confirm on that, I don't have any evidence.
But I was mainly speaking on China. (But it wouldn't surprise me if you are right tho)
@Islandstyles how you people keep comparing them? did police track you and put you in jail just for posting something that government doesn't like? anyone can go to jail anytime no one is safe, one of em is dictator you will be treated as a political criminals if you even unhappy about some policies, even if you disappear someday, your parents don't dare to ask, that is dictator you spoiled baby, stop comparing, if something happens to you at least you can post online and get attention, in China no chance ,you have the freedom and still complaining wtf you spoiled baby
@Islandstyles they do but it's not developed or designed at the level China I'd doing it
9 and 1/2 whole pizzas - wouldn’t surprise me if China sold this tech to the US & every other country on the globe,
"Don't know" is one thing, denial is quite another. Denial KNOWS what's true, but keeps it arm's length in order to avoid looking at it (d/t fear, shame, etc..); whereas awareness (usually involving UN-deniable pain) followed by a refusal to accept what's true is much more dangerous, bc it involves the DECISION to embrace a LIE. As for me, I'd rather be a prisoner & know I'm free, than believe I'm free & not know I'm a PRISONER.
Everyone knows about mass surveillance via cameras and tracking, but this in combination with generational DNA collecting and analysis does not bode well for the future in general.
Amen
And still most westerners believe China is just a developing country with big population...
Fun fact, China has 4x more engineers than the U.S and 2x more I.P applications.
The STEM sectors are experience a saturated and overhiring right now because there are too many engineers.
You only need to read "The Great Reset" (preferably used) & "The Fourth Industrial Revolution", & the WEF/UN's "2030 Agenda for Sustainability" for good measure to see what megalomaniacal globalists have planned for us, or you can just call me a conspiracy "theorist", as I check off each "conspiracy" as they CONTINUE to come to fruition...

well america needs to get better at surveillance because its constantly drone striking civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq.
@@hughmungus2760 what do you mean?
This is actually super impressive (not that I agree with it being used). The tech isn’t new, but the combination of many technologies, services, massive databases, the incalculable scale, and the way it is constantly evolving probably makes it the first of its kind. I can imagine they will sell this tech to other countries.
They already do, some of it. The dictator in the making in Uganda has some of this. That dictator is using it to suppress opposition and protest and track opponents.
I'm genuinely curious, isn't the US doing the same thing? I mean, there's a camera everywhere I look (Boston).
@@berkovl7226 Sometimes it is only possible to create the most advanced version of a system if you have absolutely zero legal roadblocks and privacy concerns. US tech is capable of doing this, but will forever be limited in its implementation due to legal reasons. What governments are allowed to do with cameras drastically varies by country.
@@RubmaLione 😂 that's hilarious. The US IS doing this.... They just don't admit it because of the legalities of it. Many in the US, experience worse than what this video shows, every day, some, the ones still living, for decades...
When fusion centers were questioned about targeting us citizens they lied through their teeth, and when a specific US citizens name was brought up they fidgeted and said "that's classified for reasons of national security" which is what they say about every person they target.

Not only is this Surviellence ~ it helps build China’s AI System.
"Artificial" anything is not real. This is exactly why those chose this label to confuse the masses. What it really comes down to is programmed intelligence. It will always include all the biases and discriminatory views and/or perspectives of those coding it to being with. What is worse is when left to Machine Learning methods, there are no safety guards no place either. Sometimes this matters a great deal more than at other times.
The best thing about computers is that they can be made to be without biases. The worst thing about computers is they can be made to include all manner of biases. Computers are a neutral third party. Given the instructions they receive they can operate well or not. People need to know this and understand. Right now the public is being used to not only fund the tech revolution, but are becoming victims to the psychological warfare issued from these machines. The addictive qualities are no accident, and this is leveraged to the end of increasing profits and mass manipulation, even the triggering of targeted individuals as well. They are a tool just like any other and the Truth is the tool itself is neither right nor wrong. It always comes down to whom is using the tool and to what end.
@@seanregehr4921 If you can control all of the information going to an individual, you could target them to commit an act of terrorism. Though that would be counter productive to the reasoning behind their mass surveillance of their citizens. Any despot who has what china has can never be removed by an internal rebel force. The citizens live in fear of being at odds with the government. Nukes also guarantee no outside intervention would occur to remove the despot. Its just about retaining power at all costs. Holding on to power is the most important goal for any absolute ruler. I don't support tyrannical regimes. I just understand how they operate, and what their goals are.

Minority Report ceasing to be fiction? What's really chilling is this documentary's final spoken sentence.
The reason why you see so many negative propaganda about china is because china is surpassing the united states on many fronts. By painting china as a dystopian society serves to keep american public complacent in the condition at home instead of asking questions about why china is ahead and rising and america is declining

There's a discussion right now about a Chinese company that bought land 20 minutes away from a sensitive U.S. military base in North Dakota. The GOP and the Democrats have raised concerns and are opposed to the purchase for fear of surveillance and information interception.

And now there is a Chinese drone flying over that area.

How? it's not like they're putting cameras anywhere private. It's just normal security surveilance.
The response "How? it's not like they're putting cameras anywhere private. It's just normal security surveillance." Would be laughable were it not representative of the kind of denial that's enabling what is & probably WILL happen (I only say "probably", bc only God knows the future). China uses a social credit system to CONTROL the masses, w/AI generated surveillance being the tip of a VERY LARGE iceberg. Just wait until globalists get their way & the world makes the switch from centralized banking, to a system that uses electronic (digital) currency & runs on blockchain! Blockchain is all about CONNECTION, blockchain combined with the "internet of things" combined with AI, add super-computers & quantum computing & we're looking at the power to control the entire globe! Blockchain is touted for it's ability to ensure privacy, or one could say to keep our finances "safe". Trust me when I say blockchain is to unhackable, what unsinkable was to the Titanic. Try to buy more than your allotment of meat & the sale will be denied. Drive a car that emits too much carbon & watch a penalty $$$ get deducted from your account. Write an op-ed critical of the corrupt State; or have someone turn you in for words INCORRECTLY deemed "hate speech" & lose your house, and/or spend time in a "re-education" camp. Bottom line, if you hear a Leftist start talking about "safety", RUN!!!!!!!!!

Imagine you have a twin in China and he robs someone in front of the camera, then the camera thought it was you but it was your twin and now you are in jail for something you didn't even do.
Yup, I can see that as a problem but cases like these would be rare even in high population China. And I'm sure there's ways to identify the real culprit, even twins will have some slight differences, and China collects tons of data so the culprit should be easy to identify.
@@yes9571 Yes I agree with you, probably with the iris of the eye they could identify who's who.
it already knows there are twins in their family and due to the profile created by ai so it knows who is theive and which twins is not also , even if their face is same their other things like and dislike will also know which twins is which
@@quimbarreiros8507 No, it's not just the iris.
You're thinking of it too simply.
There's unique voice signature.
walking cadence, and so many other visual and audio attributes that they collect.
On top of that, everybody essentially must carry a phone.
Phones aren't just tracked by cell towers or GPS, but a location signature is also gained by including wifi, bluetooth, and NFC.
Even if you shut these off, they are still logging your relative location.
Relatively, what, how strong, and direction are wifi antennas, bluetooth sources, and NFC sources around you.
The phone also tracks it's own bouncing (from walking), twisting, angle while being used, not used, altitude, ambient air temperature...
You have a massively unique profile for being tracked in China.
Even non-Chinese phones have these same tracking capabilities.
It's not possible, everyone's activity trajectory is different, it's easy to get, for example, through the operator

Every year, Minority Report becomes more and more realistic...
I’m wondering if anyone has ever carried around a jammer or something around that range like someone once did to avoid something in specific but I can’t remember, I remember it jammed 911 call which was why he was arrested
It will be easy to find that person. This is multi factor location tracking. The position of the jammer will be linked to the position of your face and voice. I imagine it's very hard to get a jammer without identifying yourself anyway.
Data Brokers: "Write that down!"
What's amazing is that many Chinese citizens who were surveyed were not only fine with it, but thought all these surveillances were a good thing (they didn't appear to be coerced to say it)
🤷♂️
if you are not going against government or a criminal why would you care if they are monitoring you.
@@93alekss Ah the ignorance, just a few spiralling scenarios:
- The system made a mistake (these are not 100% accurate), misidentify you as a perpetrator. The gov is too powerful to question, and even if you could, it may take gargantuan amount of time and money just to settle everything in the end (best case scenario)
- You made a small, genuine mistake. It affects your status, social credit score, etc, and it spirals into many inconveniences (best case scenario), or discrimination (likely scenario), or to the point where you're forced to actually commit a crime just to survive (worst case scenario)
- One of your friends/family members were involved in a crime, you're somehow mistakenly linked to them and blacklisted, marked by the gov
- You voice a legitimate criticism on the gov, and the gov somehow takes it as a threat and finds ways to target you, or even fabricate false, serious charges against you (good luck in trying to fight back)
Please, open your eyes. Sometimes it just takes a small bad luck or mistake to be sucked into a whirlpool of nightmarish scenarios. Read and research on it, or maybe just watch the Nosedive episode of Black Mirrors...
Of coarse they did. There were cameras watching them.... If you say anything less than positive about the CCP -10000 social credit score or lifetime of hard labor.
It’s a different society with people who have different mindsets. East Asian societies tend to value group safety/security rather than individual freedom. Again, it’s just an entirely different way of thinking and governance to the highly individualistic mindsets and ways here in the West. This trust in the government and the desire for common good can lead to safe and highly functional societies like South Korea, Japan and Taiwan or it leads to a surveillance state like China where it is misused. There are some good things to come out of it though, one being the low crime rates in Chinese cities. People, including women, can feel safe going out alone at any time of the day or not. That’s something that a lot of women can not say about living in the West. However, I do agree with others in saying that the negatives of this kind of system outweigh the positives.
And? its our country so why do you care about it

@@Jackplexico I am not from the US but I get what you are trying to say.
@@Jackplexico Lol. Hardly. You've fallen victim to one of China's propaganda techniques. The difference between China's surveillance techniques and those used by other countries (the US in this case) differ by orders of magnitude. In China, you can be arrested if you write a post that the Chinese government finds objectionable. There is no rule of law in China. The courts are a joke. There is no comparison between China and the US when it comes to freedom and rule of law. Just because the US uses extensive intelligence techniques, do you seriously fear that one day you'll be taken off the streets and put in prison for something you said? No. There is a huge difference between freedom in the US and freedom in China. Get some sense of proportion.
How is this different , it's not like they're putting cameras anywhere private. It's just normal security surveilance. And where would you like to born? You think America is any different?
Jesus the grand scale of such surveillance makes this even more scary. Everything is known about you
They are looking for those that are related to Noah.
That's only part of the problem. The real problem is if the AI identifies you as someone who is associating with the wrong people, or reading the wrong books, or visiting the world wide web, or a hundred other things and the police arrest you can take you in for questioning and the officers take a dislike to you, etc. You can be disappeared, sent to prison or whatever they decide to do with you. Rule of law is not one of China's strong points, so anything can happen to you and you have no recourse.

Important documentary. This is so very frightening and needs loud whistle blowing around the world to end oppression and government oppression.
Freedom is a human right.
我觉得我很希望政府这样做，因为这样就不会有人敢做任何违法的事，任何违法的人都逃不掉，对于遵纪守法的人来说全是好处，如果我丢了手机或者金钱，我能通过政府第一时间找到，不会有任何人敢于拿走这笔钱，因为这是违法的事
只要我不违法，这些东西就对我就只有好处没有坏处，哪怕有人很恨我，他也不敢动手打我，因为只要他打了我，就可能会支付他一年的薪水补偿我，如果严重，他就会进监狱，绝对跑不掉，😊
This is terrifying...
Wow mind-blowing
This is why China will lead in AI development - so much training data for machine learning
China doesnt innovate tho
很棒的报道
That's crazy

What a work! Great job!

A frightening prospect!
I don't get why China would use IMSI catchers, can't they just use directly the cell phone towers from the state owned ISPs for that purpose?
one can also get a burner phone, so it's much more comprehensive for this method. anyway, great great work done by the party :)
@@bingzhiwang8735 🙄 praise the parteeee wooooooooo. 💀
I was wondering the same thing. They own the telco monopoly, right? Why bother with a stingray?
For the same reason Chinese gov't is building their digital currency. You can ask the ISPs and the companies to hand over data, but it's rather slow and requires law. A stingray or their own system, on the other hand, supplies data directly to the government instantly.
ISPs are not related to the cell network. They are entirely separate.
This is what Orwell warned us about
Not even Orwell could have imagined such a degree of surveillance, it's terrifying! But we also wear a smartphone in our pockets in the west... voluntarily
@@AN31DO01RR96 It’s almost like Edward Snowden is American, oh wait, he’s now Russian
“Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” -Snowden
woahhh that is cool!
Wait a minute, this is exactly what's happening in the US. Agencies simply go to tech companies and obtain device IDs and match that to other data.
*"Asia Society 🔴" LMAO 🤭 I am Asian 🔴 why I am scared this CIA funded NGO\"Asia society"* say anything critical of the west you account or your comment's will mysterious disappear just like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden and many more (who did not make to the news)
But they are the "good guys"... right?
There's a difference between obtaining data and tracking your every move
no, this is not "exactly" what's happening in the US. While the US has some serious privacy issues, the scale in China is many times bigger.
It's happening in the US and worldwide but on a smaller scale
If not for Snowden and those documentaries it would be progressing much faster, but ultimately it's still progressing...
An inescapable mark of the beast if there's ever been one.
Seems like the beast keeps marking different places every century.
Very worrying.
excellent.......
The problem is that they frame people with your own face
This is just the same in the USA. Nothing is shocking here. It's only going to grow more as time goes on.
I live here, and it isn't the same.
@@Maelstromme
You live in the USA? There's surveillance cameras all over the place in the USA.
There has to be probable cause in America for government entities to access the footage, ie a crime has already been committed. In China, the government has access to everything at all times because there are no human rights.

5:39 sounds like the NSA
The one comfort I find in all this is that they'll probably drown in information overload. And let's not forget how many errors algorithms make. Just do a search for your favorite celebrity and see how many pictures come up that aren't them.
Well that's why they are using so many data sources, for less error and faster recognition. More info is more powerful. The end goal will be the end human freedom to the degree they see fit.
@@HunkMine Question is will the Chinese people submit to the continued erosion of their freedoms. The most interesting thing to me is seemingly how submissive they have been towards it so far.
"BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU"

I grow up in China thinking that the surveillance camera is protecting the people, until now realizing how scary it actually is
Why worry if you are not doing anything bad?
@@chinaware_456 What is bad for a person isn't necessarily the same as what's bad for the CCP.
Because only a dog surrenders completely to his master. You're Xi Jinpings dog 🐶
Scary stuff man. Just like the movie Minority report.
This reminds me so much of Minority Report, sans the precogs
Wearing a mask all the time takes on a whole new meaning.
Ai is trained to recognize the top half of the face because it is common to wear masks if you are sick in China. So a mask will not help with tracking.
Use full face mask instead
@@sarahd3422 of course it will help. There's a lot more information AI can collect without a mask which results on a faster suspect tracking
I'm starting to understand how readily China adapted to face masks.
Well they also often wore them before because of pollution.
The future of Minority Report
Detroit needs that.
Next on The New York Times: how the NSA does the exact same thing, but much, much covertly.
go away wu mao. NO county does this type of surveillance. the CCP is a totalitarian regime.
By the time the Centrist Times publishes this, we'll have had it in place for 20 years and it will be extolling the numbers of jobs it created.
Everything the US accuses, the US is already doing itself...
You can oppose this law and freely speak against it in Usa but when it comes to China,you wouldn't get the chance
@@zealord9399 And US propaganda use to say China wanted low internet speeds to control information in China. Today China's internet speeds are in the tops of the world and certainly higher than in the US.
@@JohnSmith-wn1ms What?That is because internet nowadays doesn't required to be slowed for government to spies on.This happened with the Usa where they use user information in their google app,the same thing happened with China with different app
@@zealord9399 That's US propaganda. Americans don't know what they're talking about.
@@JohnSmith-wn1ms American surely know what they're talking about because there's actually being a protest and memes about all that stuff that's happening.In fact,it isn't a secret anymore when government spies on their citzen but Usa rarely do a crackdown on their citzen for sharing the information that they don't want because they have freedom of speech there so even if the information are dumbed as the flat earth,they are free to speak about it
disturbing
Those are sick people!
What an ill system.
America is so outdated!
How is any of this proper? Government as the Zookeeper, instead of the servant. So sad.
Ears are also tracked. Ears are an incredible validator.
this is so creepy. Camera controls every movement is enough to freak me out but now they have been controlling through DNA identity. It's insane. This is like in the 'Truman Show' movie.
Chilling. However I believe that this is inevitable and it'll likely be adopted by almost all countries around the globe. It's only a matter or time and pace.
China need massive surveillance system because most chinese are lookalike
US just simply uses skin color tone to monitor their "bad" citizen
bing chilling
Better not be. America would have a Civil War before they let China's system happen to them.
We need to fight back and refuse to use their surveillance technology on our phones.
THERE IS NO ESCAPE
