China is exporting surveillance technologies developed in Xinjiang to other societies

Evidence

Far more than cogs of a novel “surveillance capitalism” machine, these surveillance technologies form the prevailing architecture of policing in Xinjiang and societies beyond, where modern policing is creating new orders of digital surveillance. These digital tools form new surveillance sites where punishment, discipline, and control ominously blur into one. A state of surveillance, manifested most ominously by concentration camps that Uyghur, Kazakh, and ethnic Muslims are forced into and where they are then confined, that sits at the center of a new state of digital subjugation and ethnic cleansing. A new state of surveillance perfected in Xinjiang, a dystopian laboratory for the most cutting-edge, nefarious forms of mass surveillance that China is exporting globally and advancing to crush the Uyghur people. — Khaled A.
