WSJ Investigates China's Total Surveillance State

Author: John Honovich, Published on Dec 26, 2017

The WSJ is continuing its investigation into Chinese video surveillance. Following up on last month's WSJ Investigation of Hikvision, the WSJ is back with Twelve Days in Xinjiang: How China’s Surveillance State Overwhelms Daily Life, remarking that "The government has turned the remote region into a laboratory for its high-tech social controls"

Below is the 8-minute video from the report:

Inside, we examine the claims made, the video surveillance manufacturers cited and the potential impact on the industry.
