Critical pieces of China’s cutting-edge surveillance state share a connection. They came from America.

Some of the biggest names in U.S. technology have provided components, financing and know-how to China’s multibillion-dollar surveillance industry. The country’s authoritarian government uses those tools to track ethnic minorities, political dissidents and others it sees as a threat to its power—including in Xinjiang, where authorities are creating an all-seeing digital monitoring system that feeds into a network of detention...

Not surprising. Where there's money to be made the results of that income do not matter. Let's not forget IBM supplied the Nazi's with counting machines for the extermination camps.

Right, everything is in China is like the Wehrmacht on steroids. Modern day NAZIs embraced by idiots.

Reminds me of US complicity in other areas; US companies selling weapons of war around the world share responsibility for promoting conflict, human rights violations, death, injury and displacement of people.

BrandonPohja Shame on US tech companies turning a blind eye to profit on Chinese Communist's need of equipment to control its people.

America companies must take more social responsibility and upholding the social values. A crack down of global civilisations to a totalitarian regime would be a biggest human disaster of history. Hong Kong is a sorrow example .. SOSPolyU

Hmm... I wonder who is funding those companies... Wall Street?

Omg🤮I can’t imagine my daily life are being under CCP watch.

China is a world's hi-tech leader and grows fast. streets surveillance helps to prevent terrorism and reduce crimes. US does the same (trying) but with zero effect. 'big brother' systems unveiled by Edward Snowden demonstrate totalitarian regime but corruption makes all useless.

OMG
