** 09-Apr-2021 World View: We're shocked!! China puts Americas, Brits, etc., on a watchlist
Politicians and reporters are expressing shock and surprise to learn
that, of all things, the Chinese are collecting personal information
on anyone who visits China, and storing it in their database.
Ohmigod, how horrible! How could those nice Chinese be doing
something so awful?
Actually, as regular readers know, I've been writing about China's
monster "social credit system" database for years. That database is
keeping track of every Chinese citizen. It collects data from online
transactions, from bus trips, from street surveillance cameras, and so
forth. Any interaction of the internet with a citizen generates a
record that's merged with information about that citizen in the social
credit system database. Based on that data, people will be evaluated
by algorithms that will determine whether they pose a threat to the
one-party state, or even whether they'll be allowed to a purchase
train ticket.
The particular focus has been on tracking Uighurs in East Turkestan
(Xinjiang Province). Using this database, the Chinese can quickly
round up Uighurs for "re-education camps," where they're beaten,
tortured, raped, sterilized, and enslaved.
So now Australian activists have obtained a leaked database,
apparently a part of the social credit system database, and it's
discovered that any Westerner who visits China -- tourists,
executives, wives, children -- all go into the same database. And
this discovery is producing shock waves.
This is hardly a surprise. The Chinese regularly hack into private
and government databases in countries around the world, as well as
personal iPhones, and collect data on every person, so that they can
collect military and commercial intelligence to use in preparation for
the coming war.
However, this new development is suddenly scaring a lot of idiots who
thought the nice people in China's military would never do something
so awful. This issue is gathering steam, and may come to a head in
the next few months.
Of particular concern is the 2022 Olympics in China. If China has its
way, then thousands of people from around the world will visit China,
and China will collect a vast trove of personal information about
them. This realization may affect whether the West decides to boycott
China's Olympics. The first shot may already have been fired last
week when the North Koreans said that they would boycott the upcoming
Olympics in Japan in a couple of months.
NOTA BENE: If you DO visit China, for any reason,
understand that your phone will be confiscated long enough to steal
data and plant a spy malware program. THEREFORE: If you MUST visit
China, then leave your phone at home and get a burner phone. Take
that with you to China, and then throw it out (or disinfect it) when
you return home.
