Many aspects of mass surveillance technology may have been perfected in Xinjiang, but its use is hardly exclusive to China. For companies, the security industry presents a “market opportunity.”

The hundreds of millions of dollars invested in Xinjiang surveillance created a system of digital enclosure that is part of the structure of dispossession that confronts Uyghurs, but the regime in Beijing wants the data of the colonized, too, a researcher says. This collection of data has significant consequences for the expansion of dataveillance instruments globally.
