China harvests masses of data on Western targets

[40.926]

China is turning a major part of its Internet data surveillance network outward, mining Western social media, including Facebook and Twitter, to equip its government agencies, military and police with information on foreign targets. China maintains a countrywide network of government data surveillance services that were developed over the past decade and are used domestically to warn officials of politically sensitive information online. The Washington Post review of hundreds of Chinese bidding documents, contracts and company filings shows that agencies including state media, propaganda departments, police and military are purchasing new or more sophisticated systems to gather data.
