Tänk dej att du bor i en stad där två hundra tusen kameror övervakar och kan identifiera dig med hjälp av ditt ansikte. Antag vidare att ditt id-kort har ett chip som innehåller:

  • Var du har jobbat
  • Din utbildning
  • Din etnicitet
  • Vad polisen har registrerat om dej
  • Antal barn du har
  • Telefonnumret till din hyresvärd
  • Myndigheterna vet dessutom var du är eftersom de spårar din mobiltelfons rörelse mellan celler

Välkommen till Kina!, närmare bestämt till staden Shenzen:


Data on the chip will include not just the citizen's name and address but also work history, educational background, religion, ethnicity, police record, medical insurance status and landlord's phone number. Even personal reproductive history will be included, for enforcement of China's "one child" policy. Plans are being studied to add credit histories, subway travel payments and small purchases charged to the card.
Tjugo tusen kameror ska installeras, men myndighetrna har också rätt att koppla upp de 180'000 kameror som redan finns, in i systemet.

"We have a very good relationship with U.S. companies like IBM, Cisco, HP, Dell - these are all very good partners with us," said Robin Huang, the chief operating officer of China Public Security. "All of these U.S. companies work with us to build our system together."
