China Expands Massive Surveillance Network

China has many surveillance cameras across the country. It is the world's largest network of these cameras. These cameras help the government to watch people.

Some cameras can move and see a wide area. Others read license plates on cars. This helps the police track cars quickly.

The Chinese government has several surveillance projects. They want to watch the whole country. These projects are called 'Sky Net' and 'Golden Shield'.

The newest project is called 'Sharp Eyes' or 'Xueliang Project'. It is named after a quote from Mao Zedong. He wanted people to find those against socialist ideas.

American companies helped design and build China's surveillance system. They played a big role in enabling abuses. The U.S. government allowed companies to sell technology to China.
