Nov 2017 China had 176 million surveillance cameras in operation last year and the speed of growth is expected to see that figure more than triple to reach 626 million by 2020 ...IHS also found that one manufacturer, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology, makes up 21.4% of the world market share of CCTV camera and video surveillance equipment, the largest supplier for six years, up from 8% in 2012 and 19.5% last year.
Hikvision has been expanding in the Americas where it now has 8.5% of the market, putting it in the No.2 position. The Chinese government owns a 42% stake of Hikvision, according to a piece by the Wall Street Journal earlier this month on the security concerns of Chinese-made cameras being used in the US. The report uncovered that Hikvision’s cameras are being used to monitor a US Army base in Missouri, are part of the Memphis police’s surveillance system and were once even used at the US embassy in Kabul. https://technode.com/2017/11/22/china-to-have-626-million-surveillance-cameras-within-3-years/............................................................................................................................................

10-27-2011 When Western companies pulled back from Iran after the government's bloody crackdown on its citizens two years ago, a Chinese telecom giant filled the vacuum.
Huawei Technologies Co. now dominates Iran's government-controlled mobile-phone industry. In doing so, it plays a role in enabling Iran's state security network.
Huawei recently signed a contract to install equipment for a system at Iran's largest mobile-phone operator that allows police to track people based on the locations of their cellphones, according to interviews with telecom employees both in Iran and abroad, and corporate bidding documents reviewed by the Wall Street Journal.

9-14-17 BERLIN, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- Leading German industrial concern Siemens AG has decided to establish a brand-new research center for the digitalization of industry (industry 4.0) in China, the company revealed on Thursday.
"Siemens is investing massively in China's future and is supporting the country and local customers on their path to digitalization", the firm's Head of Technology Roland Busch said in a statement.
The center will direct Muenich-based Siemens' global research activities in autonomous robotics, placing emphases on mechatronic systems, cooperation between humans and machines, and the use of artificial intelligence in robotics control. It will be located in Beijing under a joint venture with China's prestigious Tsinghua University. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-09/14/c_136609996.htm

5-30-17 TAIPEI -- ARM Holdings, a British chip innovator controlled by SoftBank Group, will form a joint venture with Chinese partners "within months" to help companies in China develop semiconductor technologies, including products that could have security uses, a company executive told the Nikkei Asian Review on Monday.
"The intent is for that joint venture to develop products for the Chinese market for China partners, and specifically around the areas of technology that a Western company might not be able to do," said Rene Haas, president of ARM's intellectual property products group.
"For example, if somebody was building [a system on a chip] for China military or China surveillance, the security had to be at very high clearance in such a way that China wants to have it only inside China. With this kind of new joint venture, this company can develop that. In the past this is something we couldn't do," Haas said.
System on a chip, or SoC, refers to a chip that integrates various functions that can include computing and communications.
ARM's architecture is widely used by chipmakers everywhere for their SoC products, and the company has a 90% global market share of the mobile gadget chip market including smartphones, tablets and connected devices. Major global tech hardware and chip companies including Apple, Qualcomm and Samsung Electronics all license technologies from ARM.
…Beijing has proposed to invest at least 1.2 trillion yuan ($177 billion) over a decade to build its own chip industry. Eventually, China wants to compete with Taiwan's world-class chipmakers and global semiconductor titans like Intel and Qualcomm. https://asia.nikkei.com/Features/Interview/ARM-in-China-joint-venture-to-help-foster-secure-chip-technology

4-21-15 On Tuesday, Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev’s Skolkovo Foundation for technical development and the Chinese Cybernaut Investment Group agreed to create a $200 million venture fund, a startup incubator for Russian businesses and a new Chinese robotics center, all of which signify increased cooperation between the two countries to develop technology that benefits the both of them.
As part of the joint Chinese and Russian venture, roughly 15 companies currently based in the Skolkovo area near Moscow—otherwise known as Russia’s fledgling version of Silicon Valley—will take a seat at the Skolkovo Innovation Center, which is a research campus that Russia has been trying to tout as an hub of sorts for breakthroughs in the areas of information technology, biomedical, energy efficiency, nuclear, and space technology. http://fortune.com/2015/04/21/russia-china-venture-incubator/

3-22-14 U.S. National Security Agency has infiltrated servers in the headquarters of Chinese telecommunications and internet giant Huawei Technologies Co, obtaining sensitive information and monitoring the communications of top executives, the New York Times reported on Saturday….The newspaper said its report on the operation, code-named “Shotgiant,” was based on NSA documents provided by Edward Snowden…
The newspaper said the NSA secured access to the servers in Huawei’s sealed headquarters in the city of Shenzhen and got information about the workings of the giant routers and complex digital switches the company says connect a third of the world’s people. The NSA also tracked communications of Huawei’s top executives, the NY Times reported.
Der Spiegel reported that the NSA breached Huawei’s computer network and copied a list of more than 1,400 clients and internal training documents for engineers. “We have access to so much data that we don’t know what to do with it,” the magazine cited an NSA document as saying….
The NY Times also reported that as Huawei invested in new technology and laid undersea cables to connect its $40 billion-a-year networking operation, the NSA was interested in getting information on into key Chinese customers including “high priority targets - Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kenya, Cuba.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-security-china-nsa/nsa-infiltrates-servers-of-china-telecom-giant-huawei-report-idUSBREA2L0PD20140322?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews
