China Aims For Near-Total Surveillance, Including in People's Homes

It's a bit scary to read how China controls it's population. The west isn't quite there, yet, but it wouldn't take long.

By 2020, China will have completed its nationwide facial recognition and surveillance network, achieving near-total surveillance of urban residents, including in their homes via smart TVs and smartphones.

According to the official Legal Daily newspaper, the 13th Five Year Plan requires 100 percent surveillance and facial recognition coverage and total unification of its existing databases across the country.

Authorities in the southwestern province of Sichuan reported in December that they had completed the installation of more than 40,000 surveillance cameras across more than 14,000 villages as part of the "Sharp Eyes" nationwide surveillance network, the paper said.

Guangdong-based Bell New Vision Co. is developing the nationwide "Sharp Eyes" platform that can link up public surveillance cameras and those installed in smart devices in the home, to a nationwide network for viewing in real time by anyone who is given access.

"Sharp Eyes" comes from a ruling Chinese Communist Party slogan, "the people have sharp eyes," which traditionally relied on the eyes and ears of local neighborhood committees to keep tabs on what its people were up to.

Soon, police and other officials will be able to monitor people's activities in their own homes, wherever there is an internet-connected camera.

A Chinese internet user who asked to remain anonymous said the social media platform WeChat has also begun issuing warnings to anyone posting messages that the government deems undesirable.

"The internet and our smartphones have been under government surveillance for a long time already," the user said. "A friend of mine in Anhui is under surveillance, and he tried to buy a plane ticket to go overseas, but he couldn't leave the country."

"We can be placed under restriction or persecuted by them, or asked to 'drink tea,' [with state security police], or placed under surveillance, at any time," he said.

"Overall, it feels as if we're not free at all."

'Social credit' system

The Sharp Eyes system will be implemented in tandem with a "social credit" system that makes simple actions like buying a train ticket subject to sufficient social credit.

Under a pilot social credit scheme, people who are considered to be "troublemakers" by the authorities, including those who have tried fare-dodging, smoked on public transport, caused trouble on commercial flights or "spread false information" online will now be prevented from buying train tickets, the government announced earlier this month.

Employers who fail to pay social insurance or people who have failed to pay fines will also be on the restricted list, which takes effect on May 1.

The administration of President’s Xi Jinping is currently building a social credit system allowing government bodies to share information on its citizens’ trustworthiness and assign a "social credit score" to citizens.

In early 2017, the country’s Supreme People’s Court said that 6.15 million Chinese citizens had been banned from taking flights for social misdeeds, Reuters reported.

As far as I know London ist the city with the most cameras worldwide, correct?
And I once saw a tv-report saying there is a channel(s) in the tv-net where you can observe london via camera on your tv? Is that true?? So you can spy on the citizens from your flat?

This.

When I was younger I always asked my dad and uncle on why the Afghan people seem to be so fond of Eastern Europeans while they despised America (Afghans love Russians and I have heard nothing but good things said by Russians when it comes to the Afghan people). The answer I received, I will never forgot. Their response was that yes, both the Russians and Americans invaded Afghanistan but it was how it was done that Afghans view them the way they do. The Russians, when invading, told the Afghans "we're here to take you over and try to impose our will on yours and so fight us if you can". The Americans invaded and their response was "we're here to help you people, bring you democracy, free your women, and rid you of OBL".

The difference between the two is the Russians were truthful in why they were invading us and were blunt about it. They were OPEN ABOUT IT. The Americans on the other hand told them bold-faced lies. To their faces they pretended to be friends while in reality they were fucking the Afghan people on a political level, economic level, and social level.

The show was a CIA backed production. Even more, Jonathan Nolan is Christopher Nolan's brother. (Dark Knight was blamed for triggering the Aurora shooter).

I can believe that completely - controlled opposition perhaps! Notice how the choice was between benevolant and malevolant total surveillance.

And this is precisely why much of the world despises America. It has nothing to do with their so-called freedoms but everything to do with their hypocritical and deceitful bullshit.

You have to wonder how people can want to resist the "NWO Elites", go "Off Grid" etc etc when the reality of what seems to be coming upon the world is of a much more "Biblical" proportion.

Revelation 13...

"16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
