In addition to 91 million Communist Party members who, at the human
intelligence level (humint) level, are required to report disloyalty to China's Ministry
of State Security China has a vast electronic/internet mass surveillance
system. Much of this effort is in Hong Kong already, but the new security laws will make coverage even more intense.
1. "Mass surveillance in China is the network of monitoring systems used by the Chinese Communist Party to supervise the lives of Chinese citizens.[1] It is primarily conducted through the government, although non-publicized corporate surveillance in connection with the Chinese government has been speculated to occur. China monitors its citizens through Internet, camera as well as through other digital technologies.[2][3] Mass surveillance in China is closely related to its Social Credit System, [see flow chart below at 2. ] and has significantly expanded under the China Internet Security Law and with the help of local companies like Tencent, Dahua Technology, Hikvision, SenseTime, ByteDance,[4] Megvii, Huawei and ZTE, among many others.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

As of 2019,
it is estimated that 200 million monitoring CCTV cameras of the "Skynet" system have been put to use
in mainland China, four times as many surveillance cameras
in the United States.[2][13][14] By 2020, the
number of surveillance cameras in mainland China is expected to reach 626
million.[15][16][17]"
In connection with camera surveillance, the Chinese government is developing a social credit system that rates the trustworthiness of [Chinese and soon Hong Kong] citizens by analyzing their social behaviors and collecting fiscal and government data.[79][80][81] After capturing people's activities and identifying them through facial recognition techniques, the government links their activities to this personal credit rating so that the information is stored in a quantifiable and measurable way.

Under this algorithmic surveillance system, people, their identities, and their
actions are connected to a citizen score.[82] By utilizing
information gathered about the citizens' activities captured by cameras and
analyzing them with AI and data mining techniques, the state calculates and
updates their citizen scores regularly.
Participation in this system is
currently voluntary but will become mandatory in 2020.[3][80][82] Many Chinese
citizens have already started using the Sesame Credit created and operated by Alibaba, an e-commerce company.[82] The Sesame
Credit is designed such that those with good credit scores can live a more
convenient life than others with low credits scores.[3][80] For instance,
people with high credit scores do not need to pay deposits when checking in at
hotels and can obtain visas more quickly than others.[79][80] On the other
hand, people with low credit scores cannot easily eat in restaurants, register
at hotels, purchase products, or travel freely.[79][80]"
