How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World (Paperback)

——————

Since the peak of China’s CCP virus pandemic in February, a three-color health code has ruled the lives of roughly 1 billion Chinese people, assessing whether they can move around freely or must stay in quarantine.

Enabled by the Chinese regime’s ubiquitous use of big data and overzealous attempts to stop COVID-19 spread, the mini-app rates each individual’s health with a green, yellow, and red code. The app is embedded within the super-app WeChat that citizens use for nearly all aspects of daily life, from paying for food to booking doctor’s appointments.

Authorities scan the barcode on people’s phones to check if an individual is virus-free, has had contact with virus patients, is COVID-19 positive, or exhibits symptoms of the virus.

While authorities haven’t explicitly mandated the usage of the app, the barcode must be scanned when boarding a bus or subway, checking into a hotel, entering a supermarket, and entering or leaving their residential district.

The collection and handling of sensitive personal data by WeChat have unsettled some cybersecurity experts, who worry that such information may apply to areas far beyond health and feed into the state’s surveillance machine.

Information remains limited about how people’s data is stored, but public reports and leaked documents suggest that WeChat is working closely with Chinese police and sharing the data without users’ knowledge.

Internal and public records both show that police authorities have access to the health code’s data.

The Epoch Times obtained an internal announcement from Xiong’an New Area, a state-backed megacity project in Hebei Province, that noted that the local police bureau would be “in charge of big data analysis, data mining, and in-depth application” of the health code.

The latest report published by Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) indicates that the CCP has established 600 “talent-recruitment stations” targeting overseas top professionals. The depth and breadth of the recruitment network is far greater than previously estimated by western countries.

Tien Yuan, a commentator on current affairs, indicated that the details and the accuracy of the CCP’s talent-recruitment programs reported in this research far surpass the total of past similar studies. It exposes the fact that the CCP’s talent-recruitment network has reached all major countries in the West, even in countries that are not particularly outstanding in terms of technology.

The report mentioned that over 80 percent of the talent-recruitment programs are run at a subnational level, and that the number of scientists attracted by it may be seven times more than national programs.

Zhang Xiaogang, a Chinese-Australian scholar, indicated that the CCP has a long history of infiltration and intelligence theft from the West, which poses a very serious threat to the United States and Australia. Zhang also pointed out that Australian technical professionals have a great understanding of the U.S. and by cooperating with the CCP, they betrayed the core confidential intelligence and national interests of both countries.

The report also mentioned many examples of economic espionage. In March 2019, Cao Guangzhi, a former employee at Tesla, was sued by the company for uploading more than 300,000 copies of files related to the source code for Tesla autopilot features to his personal iCloud account. In 2009, Cao Guangzhi and his three friends established the Association of Wenzhou PhDs USA. This association signed a cooperation agreement with the Wenzhou United Front to recruit talents in the U.S.

At the press conference held on August 21, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China responded to a question related to this report denying all facts revealed in the report and claiming that ASPI is an anti-China organization that created absurd fabrications.

However, Zhang Xiaogang pointed out that the author of the report, Alex Joske, is a researcher of Chinese descent who understands China very well. Dozens of investigation reports that Alex did have precisely pointed out the real problems of China. This report exposing CCP’s overseas talent hunting is even more informative and accurate.
