A Chinese government program known as the Sharp Eyes Project is\u00a0the latest example of China\u2019s technological surveillance infrastructure. There are over 200 million public and private CCTV cameras in China. The name of the Sharp Eyes Project comes from a Mao Zedong quote from the Cultural Revolution which highlighted that\u00a0\u201cthe people have sharp eyes.\u201d Back then, this sentiment was used to have\u00a0neighbors report on\u00a0each other \u2013 and\u00a0that same motivation is back. Now, even the smallest village has several\u00a0cameras\u00a0and these cameras aren\u2019t just being monitored by facial recognition algorithms.<\/p>\n

Dave\u00a0Gershgorn\u00a0described the Neighborhood Watch aspect of the Sharp Eyes Project on\u00a0OneZero:<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough special TV boxes installed in their homes,\u00a0local residents\u00a0could watch live security footage and press a button to summon\u00a0police\u00a0if they saw anything amiss. The security footage could also be viewed on smartphones.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Local reports highlight that\u00a0the Sharp Eyes Project has been used to document and report suspected MLM schemes, and even manhole covers that needed replacement.<\/p>\n

CCTV surveillance in China now includes the Neighborhood\u00a0Watch<\/h3>\n

China\u2019s CCTV ambitions started in 2003 with the Ministry of Public Security\u2019s Golden Shield Project. The Golden Shield Project started with the building of a database of all Chinese citizens which was a key component of the Great Firewall of China. Golden Shield was soon joined by two other government programs: SkyNet and Safe Cities. Safe Cities focused on logistical considerations related to public security while SkyNet was dedicated to ensuring that the growing CCTV presence in China was connected to facial recognition algorithms.<\/p>\n

Sharp Eyes was piloted in 2013. SkyNet was targeted at urban populations and used on cameras\u00a0at security gates that use facial recognition to open them. In contrast, Sharp Eyes is meant to bring the same level of CCTV\u00a0coverage to rural areas where the amount of police\u00a0per area may be less.<\/p>\n

Now, decades later, years of work have come to fruition\u00a0but it\u2019s still unclear whether China\u2019s CCTV and facial recognition surveillance technology is at 100% coverage. Dahlia\u00a0Peterson\u00a0from\u00a0the\u00a0Georgetown\u00a0University\u2019s Center for Security and Emerging Technology\u00a0commented to\u00a0OneZero<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cChinese state-run media has claimed Skynet can scan the entire Chinese population in one second with 99.8 percent accuracy, yet such claims ignore glaring technical limitations.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Every five years, China unveils Five Year Plans for the country\u2019s development. In 2016<\/a>, the Five Year Plan called for the Sharp Eyes program to have 100% coverage of all public spaces by 2020. It\u2019s unknown whether 100% coverage has been achieved, but what is clear is that they\u2019re close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
