10-17-17 R. agreed to meet me in the back of a trusted restaurant only after all the other patrons had gone home for the night. He was so nervous as he spoke that he couldn’t touch the lamb-stuffed pastries on his plate.
In March, R. told me, he found out that his mother had disappeared into a political education center. His father was running the farm alone, and no one in the family could reach her. R. felt desperate.
Two months later he finally heard from his mother. In a clipped phone call, she told him how grateful she was to the Chinese Communist Party and how good she felt about the government….Since that call, his parents’ phones have been turned off. He hasn’t heard from them since May. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/meghara/the-police-state-of-the-future-is-already-here

3-1-19 Over a period of 24 hours, 6.7 million individual GPS coordinates were streamed to and collected by the database, linking individuals to various public camera streams and identification checkpoints associated with location tags such as “hotel,” “mosque,” and “police station.” The GPS coordinates were all located within Xinjiang. This database is owned by the company SenseNets, a private AI company advertising facial recognition and crowd-analysis technologies. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/03/massive-database-leak-gives-us-window-chinas-digital-surveillance-state

2-17-19 The most common conclusion is that SenseNets is a government contractor, helping authorities track the Muslim minority, rather than a private company selling its product to another private entity. Otherwise it would be hard to explain how SenseNets has access to ID card information and camera feeds from police stations and other government buildings. https://www.zdnet.com/article/chinese-company-leaves-muslim-tracking-facial-recognition-database-exposed-online/
