Imagine living in a place where cameras watch your every move. Where everything you say on social media, your texts, your purchases are all monitored by the government. All of this is factored into a social credit system that scores you as a “troublemaker,” which enables the government to track you, stop you from traveling, detain or attack you at a moment’s notice.
This is the surveillance state that China has made in Tibet, and US tech companies have provided the technology that has fueled this repression for decades.
As I said in ICT’s September 10 statement, I am appalled that US companies have made millions in profits selling to China’s security services, who have imposed an increasingly Orwellian system of surveillance and repression in Tibet and Xinjiang, among other areas. Please stand with us and join our call in urging these companies to immediately sever any remaining business relationships with China’s police state.
