A Chinese surveillance company has been tracking the movements of more than 2.5 million people in a region where authorities have waged a crackdown on Muslim minorities, a researcher has discovered.
The Chinese love their tracking systems. In the 70's you needed to carry this little red book around with you to identify you as someone who maybe didn't need to be shot on that day.
. . .Every time you passed a checkpoint, a guard would scribble the character for 'didn't shoot this person'. . . .
you got 10 of those Characters and Chairman Mao visited your house.
"How was your day 'hon?"
"I didn't get shot!"
