Does Health Have a Price? Consequences of China's Paternalism
From the recent Universal Testing Scheme to the impending plan for Heath Code, the Hong Kong Government has been assisting the Chinese Central Government to impose mass surveillance and collect private data of the Hong Kong population in the name of pandemic controls.
For almost one year, the coronavirus pandemic, spreading from Wuhan, China to countries around the world, has revealed China's network of influence. Hong Kong is certainly not the only place where China exports, while naturalizing, its paternalistic control.
Can you see how China jails the Uyghurs in Concentration Camps?
Can you see the surveillance cameras owned by the CCP-controlled HIKvision around the world?
Can you see the backdoors that China-owned Huawei, WeChat and Tiktok open?
Can you see that the made-in-China facemasks you pay to wear came from forced labour at the Concentration camps and sweatshop factories?
Now you can see the penetration of China's sharp power in the 21st century.
If you found it disturbing that your internet activities might be overseen by the PRISM program and your messages seen by Facebook, the black mirror is brought to you by TikTok, WeChat and mass surveillance methods that track your health, contacts, whereabouts and activities.
Welcome to a made-in-China 2020: with surveillance technology, anti-pandemic control and monitoring system.
Welcome to utopia.

Three Canadian companies investing in Xinjiang operations, Trudeau concerned about companies violating human rights
In an effort to stop China from committing human rights abuses against the Uighurs in Xinjiang, the Canadian government announced last week that it is asking major domestic companies to avoid doing business with or profiting from forced labour. Recently, Canadian media reported that three publicly traded Canadian companies had invested hundreds of millions of Canadian dollars in Xinjiang, making them the top five foreign investors in the region. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed concern about the incident and said he is in close contact with all Canadian companies to ensure they do not benefit from human rights abuses.
The Globe and Mail (Canada) reported Monday that three Canadian companies, including renewable energy giant Canadian Solar Inc. and two small mining companies, Dynasty Gold Corp. and GobiMin Inc. have operated businesses and invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Xinjiang over the past two decades. However, none of the three companies has responded to whether they are involved in human rights abuses or forced labour activities.
