The New York Times reported last year that China’s authority depends on a vast network of surveillance technology and facial recognition systems to track and control Uighurs based on their appearance.
In recent years, Megvii and Huawei have rolled out three different surveillance systems that use both companies’ technology. As per the Washington Post, It is still unsure whether they use the Uighur alarm feature, which was reported on IPVM findings first.
Megvii nor Huawei, neither of them have disputed the authenticity of the document, which was discovered by the IPVM. The Uighur alarm has only been tested and has not seen real-world application yet, Huawei told the firm.
On Wednesday, the foreign affairs minister from China did not immediately respond to the post’s email. Previously, Beijing has dismissed claims that repressed Uighurs saying that the internment camps where they are held are vocational centers meant to combat terrorism.
