On the day Parliament meets after the “largest loss of territory since 1962” under @narendramodi, big media performs a patriotic duty: reveals a “private” Chinese tech company is doing what Indian state and non-state actors do 24x7 on an industrial scale. https://indianexpress.com/article/express-exclusive/china-watching-big-data-president-kovind-pm-narendra-modi-opposition-leaders-chief-justice-of-india-zhenhua-data-information-technology-6594861/
China is watching 10,000 Indians? Duh. ‘The Australian Financial Review’ says the Chinese military contractor Zhenhua Data, whose “clients” include Chinese Communist Party and People’s Liberation Army, has compiled “profiles” on more than 35,000 Australians. #ChinaWatching
China is watching 10,000 Indians? Duh. The ‘Overseas Key Individual Database’ of the Chinese firm covers more than “24 lakh individuals”. Its scary-sounding “hybrid warfare” is built on compiling “relationship maps”. #ChinaWatching https://www.afr.com/policy/economy/database-sends-warning-about-political-interference-20200910-p55uh1
China is watching 10,000 Indians? Duh. @ilfoglio_it says the Chinese firm was tracking 4,000 Italians—and the fathers, mothers, children comrades, and companions of political leaders. Presumed Islamic terrorists residing in Italy were also monitored. #ChinaWatching
China is watching 10,000 Indians? Duh. ‘The Daily Telegraph’ reports that the Chinese tech firm’s data base of “tens of thousands of British figures” contains a “family tree” of British royals with profiles of the Queen—and the late Princess Diana. #ChinaWatching @Telegraph
11 dead Indians the Chinese are tracking using “artificial intelligence” in their “hybrid warfare”: Rajiv Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, P.V. Narasimha Rao, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Jyoti Basu, M. Karunanidhi, Kanshi Ram, S.R. Bommai, Manohar Parikkar. #ChinaWatching
The first two Indians any foreign power with any common sense would want to monitor closely are home minister @AmitShah and national security adviser Ajit Doval. Revealingly, neither makes it to the @IndianExpress first list—unless it has redacted their names. #ChinaWatching
The cunning Chinese aren’t interested in @AmitShah, Ajit Doval, or @DrMohanBhagwat, but are deploying “artificial intelligence” to see what self-styled godwoman Radhe Maa is up to, for the “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”? #ChinaWatching
China is watching 10,000 Indians? Duh. China is watching 40,000 Brits, and this is how ‘The Daily Telegraph’, @BorisJohnson’s megaphone, displays the “hybrid warfare”: a 3-column story below the fold on page 1, with a graphic-heavy double spread inside. #ChinaWatching @Telegraph
