Could China’s Coronavirus Surveillance Come to the US?
China has built an even more massive AI surveillance network to deal with the coronavirus pandemic outbreak that began in Wuhan. But it's part of a much more authoritarian push— one that could come to the US. Joining me is Greg Barbaccia, an expert in counterintelligence and corporate espionage. He’s also a former Intelligence Sergeant in the US Army.

Sadly, China's model of surveillance is already here. Police in certain states (mainly democrat party centers) are already using drones to enforce social distancing (provided by a Chinese company, no less). The Governors in New York and California are encouraging people to snitch on their neighbors and businesses for the same thing. Heck, Di Blasio put out a video asking New Yorker to do just that, and even put up a hot line for it. New Yorker's response was to flood it and the twitter feed with pranks, hitler memes, and a copious amount of, I kid you not, dick pics... Obviously, most American don't take to well to CCP-type tactics. Oh, and Chris, I do have a question: As far as drone use by American police goes, American citizen can do one thing Chinese people can't. Can you say "Target Practice"?
Having heard that the CCP resists money leaving China, I wonder if this could be a major stumbling block for companies attempting to disengage from Chinese business entanglements?
I have friends in China that yearn to openly discuss "serious" topics. We don't dare do so on We Chat for obvious reasons. Some are even afraid of VPN use these days. What technologies are considered the most safe at this time?
I have never lived in China, but if I were you, I'd use the app called Signal (https://signal.org), and meet physically to exchange keys. The app uses e2e encryption, and you can set self destruct on chat threads. You will probably need to use a VPN or proxy to use the app. If you want to be extra careful, you might want to avoid using Chinese phones like Xiaomi or Huawei. If you use them, it might be worth it to replace the phone firmware with Lineage OS (https://lineageos.org)
YES, It was called the "Patriot Act"
I think the American demonstrations have show that a "helicopter drone" control will be a failure on the political level...in the end.
Make the population happy? Xi put over a million political rivals injail. With the 6 degrees of separation laws he has upteem millions ready to go at his throat. Only the police state keeps him safe.
Right, staggering amounts of information staggers minor minds.
All big things in China break after a while...sure thing to count on.
Or a tall ladder, tool belt of wrenches and wire cutters to help bring them down a bit quicker. Honestly people in Canada already don't like the idea of traffic cameras to catch drivers speeding through a red light, ultra surveillance would just mean everyone in the country heading to Parliament Hill in Ottawa and protesting the government for several months or until the cameras are taken down and all ties to CCP eliminated
