Yes! Just ask the people of the Roman Empire with the imperial censuses!

Or the Anglo-Saxons with the Domesday book of 1086!

I'd say the predilection for surveillance is a human instinct.

i'm sure how the CCP sell it is

"if you drop your wallet, no one is going to keep it"
"if your child is abducted, our facial recognisiton will pick it up pronto'

hell, most aussies would buy that arguement

they value safety way more then freedom

this will be the century of safety.

It's always been a good time for safety and security over anything else as far back as humans have existed in communities larger than family groups.

Well, Jiang is dead; now the CCP blame-gaming has begun over which faction is the more corrupt - the Jiang faction or the Xi faction.

Hu Jintao is still alive, he was at Jiang's funeral but flanked at all times by a security guard.

In China, all must submit to the CCP - a corrupt, totalitarian regime - at best a death cult.

The CCP has the goal of total subjugation of the people as slaves, nothing more.

The world has seen what the CCP will do to the Chinese people with covid - kill them in order to save itself.

Lying filth, eh. The Chinese people had no idea the world had reopened, had no idea that western vaccines had massively reduced the probability of death due to covid, had no idea that the omicron variant was significantly less lethal than the previous variants, had no idea that emergency mandates around the world had been lifted - until the world cup was televised in China.

The covid measures in China have become so lucrative to the CCP, (estimates are that they make up about 1.3% of GDP), that the CCP can't wean itself off the income, which will lead to Orwellian covid restrictions continuing to be imposed on all Chinese outside Tier-1 cities just to keep the money rolling in.

So, who's the lying filth?

Read what happened to the Foxconn workers' promised wage increases for staying on the job after being held indefinitely in their dorms due to endless lockdowns.

The CCP, not only lied to the Chinese people about covid, it exploited the Chinese people with those lies to fleece them on covid PCR tests and by forcing them to pay for their own incarceration in covid concentration camps. The CCP has made billions through these scams.

When Chinese workers in factories tried to escape the factories and return to their hometowns, the CCP turned their health code red so they were unable to use any transport services to return; just to rub it in, it imposed heavy penalties for those who aided workers who tried to walk home (including providing them food).

Since the protests, the CCP has been hunting down the protesters (via surveillance data) and bashing then arresting/disappearing them.

So, yes, the CCP exists to enslave the Chinese people, nothing more.
