China - Surveillance state or way of the future? | DW Documentary

  • China is building a huge digital surveillance system. The state collects massive amounts of data from willing citizens: the benefits are practical, and people who play by the rules are rewarded.
    Critics call it "the most ambitious Orwellian project in human history." China's digital surveillance system involves massive amounts of data being gathered by the state. In the so-called "brain" of Shanghai, for example, authorities have an eye on everything. On huge screens, they can switch to any of the approximately one million cameras, to find out who’s falling asleep behind the wheel, or littering, or not following Coronavirus regulations. "We want people to feel good here, to feel that the city is very safe," says Sheng Dandan, who helped design the "brain." Surveys suggest that most Chinese citizens are inclined to see benefits as opposed to risks: if algorithms can identify every citizen by their face, speech and even the way they walk, those breaking the law or behaving badly will have no chance. It’s incredibly convenient: a smartphone can be used to accomplish just about any task, and playing by the rules leads to online discounts thanks to a social rating system.
    That's what makes Big Data so attractive, and not just in China. But where does the required data come from? Who owns it, and who is allowed to use it? The choice facing the Western world is whether to engage with such technology at the expense of social values, or ignore it, allowing others around the world to set the rules.

I’d rather have the freedom to protect my own self interests. This insane idea of we can have better people protect us. There are no better people. The 300 people deciding your future and would be monitoring you aren’t good people. There’s no perfect answer but I would still like to believe democracy and the constitution stand their own. I like my freedom and all that comes with it. I pay my taxes for public schooling, no kids, because I believe a better educated society and helping families is a good thing. Maybe if we all believed in a social responsibility and the freedoms we’ve been given as opposed to this! There’s a lot to pay for freedom. A lot pay for it. Some more than others. Good luck with your V for Vendetta future. But for me, I’d rather have the freedoms I’m afforded even with the odd chance I can’t protect my own and don’t trust the judicial system after.

Over-reliance of systems, governments, or certain people just gives them more power and opportunity to abuse.

      I don't know what DW asked the Yu family to do, but his phone showed the screen for Sesame score, by Alibaba, only your activity within their apps are assigned a score for rewards, 550 sesame reward points and up.
      24:23 what the docu said about how high score people can skip security is physically impossible.
      In China xray machines are all placed at the entrance of the station, which means no one knows who you are, Metro cards are also not tied to your ID, any tourist can buy one and put money in it to use it.
      So this documentary is being deliberately dishonest, which is a truly scary thought, considering you and many others have trust in media like DW that manipulates your views and some times outright lies.

      Let's list the costs shall we? US has over 600 mass shootings per year, China has had 5 since 1910. US has over 1000 deaths by police guns per year. China averages over 1. US has about 380 violent crimes per 100,000. China has less than 1 per 100,000.
      I'd say it's costing Americans too much.

And some elderly people are easy to get lost, the camera can quickly find them, even for their own home, people are also willing to install a camera, because if you work in a far place, you can see the situation at home at any time, see the family, are very convenient.

I bet they do it in bed together, and then go to sleep without really talking to each other. If i had a companion and kids around, you bet that i'd try to make things differently. When we go visit my parents, nobody is allowed to carry their mobile phones at the table or in the living room. There's a small basket at the entrance, we leave it there.

      I mean... I can answer for you. Being completely alone yet online is not the same as having family and friends around and being online. I still engage in social interaction, I still play with my brother irl. Oftentimes actually the stuff I find when I'm scrolling online (like memes), I do so to show to my brother, otherwise it's not as fun or interesting (the funniest stuff are when they're shared with others). It's not like my family's "fallen apart" just because me and my brother scroll on tik tok or because my brother plays roblox and my parents talk to family friends on facebook. Like, we still all speak to each other and go on trips like this summer we went to Alton Towers (theme park in the UK)
      I feel like people who act as if technology is some social ill or act as if human interaction has died because they think people somehow can't meter their own use of technology are the exact types of people who would become internet addicts or can't meter their internet use.

      I wouldn’t want my credit rating to take a hit either. It’s the ultimate form of coercion. You don’t even have to throw the disloyal troublemaker into the gulag - you can achieve much more effective compliance by tightening the noose more slowly and gently.

      Or may be they are more satisfied with their government than their western counterparts. You people have to understand China was in abject poverty 30 years ago. From there they are now on the threshold of becoming the largest economy of the world. Why should then they be cross with their government? They are living a better life now than their predecessors.

      @@ruekurei88 Good luck with your ideology. And another thing, supporting a certain policy of a certain gov. doesn't always mean getting paid for it. Accusations without evidence don't support your cause/ideology/bias/whatever. I wish I had this protection but in my country, police can't even get cellphone thieves because of lack of evidence and women can't get out in the public after 9 PM due to lack of public safety/criminal surveillance. I think a good thing in liberal democracy if it's practiced is, hearing out diverse perspectives. There is an individualistic perspective in the west and a collectivist perspective in China. The Chinese society is like a strict family of more than 1.4 billion people with its leaders as parents. Both systems have their pros and cons. No system is perfect or superior to another.

It's like a frog being boiled alive slowly in a pot of water, who does not realize they are being cooked until it's too late.
