💨 Abstract

In Chongqing, China, a population of 30 million is under intense surveillance through an extensive CCTV network, with one camera for every six residents. This system integrates cameras with a grid-based monitoring system and a comprehensive 'social credit' system. Chronicled by Dr. Xiaobai Shen, the surveillance is aimed at enhancing public safety and trustworthiness.
