China's surveillance state expands under Xi Jinping

Reports highlight the extensive expansion of China's surveillance apparatus under President Xi Jinping. Technological networks, including ubiquitous security cameras and facial recognition, have become central to domestic control.

Digital restrictions have tightened significantly, with the foreign internet being largely inaccessible and VPN usage becoming increasingly difficult. Since the introduction of real-name mobile phone registration in 2010, obtaining mobile internet without official identification has become nearly impossible.

These technological measures are supplemented by physical presence and strict identification requirements in various sectors of daily life, such as lodging, which has seen a decline in establishments operating without identity checks.
