Hi Dave,

In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, a police officer wearing facial
recognition glasses spotted a heroin smuggler at a train station.
In Qingdao, a city famous for its German colonial heritage, cameras
powered by artificial intelligence helped the police snatch two dozen
criminal suspects in the midst of a big annual beer festival.
In Wuhu, a fugitive murder suspect was identified by a camera as he
bought food from a street vendor.
With millions of cameras and billions of lines of code, China is
building a high-tech authoritarian future. Beijing is embracing
technologies like facial recognition and artificial intelligence to
identify and track 1.4 billion people. It wants to assemble a vast and
unprecedented national surveillance system, with crucial help from its
thriving technology industry.
