DNA Harvesting and Policing in China
from Asia Rising · host Asia Rising
The Chinese Government is building the world’s largest police-run DNA database, profiling tens of millions of people across the country who have no history of serious criminal activity. Those individuals (including preschool-age children) have no control over how their samples are collected, stored and used. When combined with other surveillance tools it will increase the power of the Chinese state and further social control. A live podcast recording of the Asia Rising podcast via zoom. Guests: Associate Professor James Leibold (Head of the department of Politics, Media and Philosophy at La Trobe University) Emile Dirks (PhD candidate in political science at the University of Toronto) Recorded 12 August 2020.
