The China Project covered Hikvision's continuing sales of Uyghur tracking technology, revealed in a July IPVM article on a $6 million PRC government contract specifying the analytics. See: Hikvision Uyghur Recognition, NVIDIA-Powered, Sold To PRC China Authorities
This was the latest of several examples of Hikvision offering Uyghur/ethnic minority analytics, despite years of assurances from Hikvision that it stopped selling them.
Beginning in 2016, China has subjected Uyghurs in Xinjiang to highly-invasive surveillance and mass detention in concentration camps, which the United Nations said may amount to Crimes Against Humanity.
The China Project also cites IPVM's May 2022 white paper detailing Hikvision's involvement in the government's crackdown on Uyghurs, saying:
IPVM’s recent findings bolster its May 2022 White Paper, “Hikvision, Xinjiang, Uyghurs & Human Rights Abuses,” which showed that despite company denials, Hikvision cameras stood out as key culprits in China’s human rights abuses in the Uyghur region.
The China Project covers "China-focused news" aiming to inform "a global audience regarding the business, technology, politics, culture, and society of China."
In 2022, a former employee accused The China Project of being influenced by the Chinese government. However, its investigation here of Hikvision's Uyghur analytics squarely confronts issues that are negative for the PRC government and state-controlled Hikvision.
