US Government Aided China's Surveillance State, China Uncensored Reveals

US Complicity in China's Surveillance State

• 💡 The US government has not only allowed but actively helped American companies sell dangerous technology to China's surveillance state.
• 🎯 This includes advanced equipment like routers, servers, software, and AI-powered surveillance systems, despite existing restrictions.
• ⚠️ Even companies sanctioned for human rights abuses in Xinjiang, like Dahua and Hikvision, are using US cloud services for AI training.

Outdated Laws and Loopholes

• ⚖️ While laws prohibit selling crime control equipment, US regulators have largely permitted the sale of more advanced technology.
• 🧩 Companies circumvent restrictions by selling components that, when combined, enable fingerprint recognition and surveillance capabilities.
• ☁️ Chinese firms are exploiting US cloud services like AWS and Microsoft Azure to train AI models, with these companies aware and even advertising to Chinese customers.

Government Export Promotion

• 🤝 The US Commercial Service, an export-promoting arm of the Commerce Department, has directly connected US businesses with Chinese security agencies and government officials.
• 📈 This included organizing trade shows and webinars to help companies understand and access China's security market.
• 🌍 Even after China's crackdown in Xinjiang, the Commercial Service encouraged companies to help install city-wide surveillance systems.

State Department and Counterterrorism Cooperation

• 🗺️ A 2015 State Department draft plan proposed US-China collaboration on smart city projects, including private sector involvement like IBM.
• ✈️ The US also sought counterterrorism cooperation with China, providing opportunities for closer contact between tech companies and Chinese authorities.

Consequences and Call to Action

• 💰 Arguments against banning technology trade, citing economic harm and China's potential to develop its own tech, are dismissed as short-sighted corporate greed and CCP influence.
• 🇨🇳 The video draws a parallel to the Cold War, questioning the logic of helping a geopolitical rival develop its repressive apparatus.
• 🔒 It is urged that loopholes must be closed, lobbyists ignored, and the US government's involvement in China's surveillance state ended to prevent further empowerment of China.
