[60398] Fear of Chinese espionage: US delegation in Beijing operating under strict cybersecurity
US delegation in China under strict security
Reports from the 'Fox News' network, as brought on the Abu Ali Express channel (known for its critical stance on Iran and the Axis of Resistance), indicate that members of the American delegation to China took extraordinary preventative measures. According to the report, delegation members left their personal devices – mobile phones and laptops – at home, and instead, they are equipped with burner and sanitized phones provided by the US Secret Service. These steps were taken against the backdrop of a deep fear of Chinese espionage and cyber surveillance, as also published in News 360 | All The News.
At the same time, a 'Fox News' team that toured Beijing was exposed to a 'Big Brother' reality on the city streets, as reported on the 'No Censorship' channel. The reporters described a very tight surveillance camera array, capable of identifying minor offenses in real-time.
According to reports, after an unauthorized stop of only two minutes, the Chinese system identified the crew's vehicle automatically and issued a ticket. The American reporter summarized his experience in astonishment: "There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. They simply see everything, at every moment.".
