The Tech Manual That Revealed a Genocide: Inside the Xinjiang Surveillance State đ§ Tech Takedown
A genocide was hidden in the tech specs. đˇđď¸ We investigate how a researcher reading a boring instruction manual discovered the blueprint for China's oppression of the Uyghurs. We break down the "Minority Analytics" built into Hikvision camerasâfeatures specifically designed to flag and track ethnic minorities based on facial geometry.
1. The "Integrated Joint Operations Platform" (IJOP): We analyze the brain of the police state. This massive algorithm aggregates data from checkpoints, Wi-Fi sniffers, and package deliveries to generate a "micro-clue" score for every citizen. We explain how mundane actsâlike buying too much gas or using WhatsAppâtrigger automatic detention orders without human review .
2. The Forced Labor Supply Chain: Your car might be involved. We expose the link between detention camps and global brands. We discuss how Uyghurs are transferred from "re-education" centers to factories that supply major companies like Volkswagen and Nike, turning forced labor into a hidden component of the global economy .
3. The "Sharp Eyes" Project: Itâs not just cameras; itâs neighbors. We explore the social surveillance system where citizens watch live feeds of their own streets on their TVs. We discuss the psychological toll of a society where there are no blind spots, and how digital authoritarianism is being exported to other regimes .
