At the Olympics, the Chinese government is watching everyone

As you sit down to watch the Winter Olympics in Beijing this week, remember that the Chinese government is watching too.

Under the pervasive surveillance of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), entire populations cannot take a single free step. Uyghur Muslims are facing genocide in modern-day concentration camps. Hong Kong pro-democracy protestors and newspaper editors are being silenced and thrown in jail.

The people of Tibet are victims to a cultural genocide as the CCP destroys their Buddhist temples and sacred cultural sites. Even well-known celebrities like Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai are forcibly disappeared after accusing party officials of abuse and sexual assault.

Across China, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters are being subjected to gruesome torture, family separation, unjust imprisonment and mass censorship.

Soon after the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Tibet became the proving ground where many of the Chinese governments’ most egregious cruelties through mass surveillance and militarization were first inflicted and refined. Just a few years later, PRC officials began using the success of their policies in Tibet to expand and begin building the infrastructure for China’s brainwashing, imprisonment and torture of the Uyghur population and other ethnic minorities which the United States and other nations have labeled as genocide.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong students and activists saw their freedoms brutally crushed by the CCP. Calls for human rights and the rule of law were squashed, while a new so-called National Security Law made it nearly impossible for Hong Kong citizens to participate in democracy, peacefully protest or speak freely without fear of imprisonment.

The CCP has deployed frightening advances in surveillance technology across China that the government can utilize to control, silence and oppress its population.

When it was in London, you watched the Olympics.

In China, the Olympics watches YOU.

The Perfect Police State: An Undercover Odyssey into China’s Terrifying Surveillance Dystopia of the Future......... Geoffrey Cain

Blocked from facts and truth, under constant surveillance, surrounded by a hostile alien police force: Xinjiang’s Uyghur population has become cursed, oppressed, outcast. Most citizens cannot discern between enemy and friend. Social trust has been destroyed systematically. Friends betray each other, bosses snitch on employees, teachers expose their students, and children turn on their parents. Everyone is dependent on a government that nonetheless treats them with suspicion and contempt. Welcome to the Perfect Police State.

Using the haunting story of one young woman’s attempt to escape the vicious technological dystopia, his own reporting from Xinjiang, and extensive firsthand testimony from exiles, Geoffrey Cain reveals the extraordinary intrusiveness and power of the tech surveillance giants and the chilling implications for all our futures.

It is done in all of China..that is why they wanted Olympic athletes to use burner phones

I’m sure they doing it here

If they’re allowed to do so, the Chinese could/would make Hitler, Stalin and Mao look like Boy Scouts.

“Retain your own drinking cups,

I think they already have millions of our dna records from when we submitted them for those genealogical history outfits. They probably go through our trash and were the ones who trained crows to pick up cigarette butts.

And they had that disgusting tribute to the NHS in the Opening Ceremonies.

During my first visit to China (early 1980s) I was involved in an incident with a government official...a minor incident...that proved irrefutably that I was being watched. I wasn't harmed in any way but it was still a very spooky experience.

A guy I know is married to a Chinese woman that was raised in one of the cities in W. China that has a bunch of the Uyghur camps. Her grandfather was a business owner and was arrested and moved out to the desolate area back in the day. The family was now farmers.

The guy visited the family and he made the comment that the entire area is really a prison. Cameras EVERYWHERE (even out in the farming country), all roads in and out have a police barricade and you need ID (and maybe a travel permit??) to leave or enter.

The woman said “It’s not a prison! We live on a farm!”

That is the perfect police state - when you don’t even realize that you are living in one.

Was warned about that when I was in China in the 80’s on TDY for special stuffs
I’m 99% certain they were recording through the mirrors as well as listening and watching every thing we did and interrogated everyone we interacted with.
two weeks after we left was the Tiannamin square incident.

I’m not spending a minute watching the CCP Olympics. This is a golden PR opportunity for the Chinese goons.
