China building world's biggest camera surveillance network

[Akasa]

It's an excuse for the authoritarian regime to exert control over the nation's people and to stifle and dissent before it can gain foothold. This level of scrutiny and surveillance is nothing short of North Korean style state surveillance, with more advanced technology of course.

A shameful development for a shameful government. The fight for freedom in China will be a long and winding road ahead.

I welcome this move. London has one of the highest density of security camera in the world & I read that people feel it is needed & feel safer. As long as you're not up to no good, nothing to fear.

It's absolutely glorious! The cancer will be excised before it has a chance to spread.

Nothing of the sort. North Korea is so ham-fisted and vicious because it's so backward and weak. This is order and unity on a scale unprecedented in history. This is civilization.

A shameful development for a shameful government.

It would seem so to savages; but the opinions of savages are irrelevant to China.

The fight for freedom barbarity in China will be a long and winding road ahead.

Fixed. Sisyphus would laugh at the hopelessness and futility of that "fight."
