‘Electronic handcuffs’: Chinese Communists roll out mandatory COVID tracking devices in Beijing

 

 

The technology collects location, camera, and microphone data from the user's cellphone via a government-issued electronic wristband.

 

Note from LifeSite co-founder Steve Jalsevac: With increasing information being published that western entities are closely working with China on future New World Order initiatives, it may be almost certain that the mass testing of such devices in China is preparing the way for eventual similar mandated personal tracking in the rest of the world.

 

These trackers are being promoted as a benefit for citizens; however, their real purpose is clearly total control of every individual as revealed in many statements and articles from World Economic Forum representatives. Wristbands and cell phones are the current trackers but there have been years of ongoing research on in-body tracking devices that are already a reality only waiting for political conditions to permit mandating them.

 

BEIJING (Reclaim The Net) – Some residents of Beijing are pushing back against a COVID tracking device they are required to wear on their wrists. Anyone returning to Tiantongyuan, a residential district in northern Beijing, is required to wear the device all day for seven days.

 

The device records the wearer’s temperature every five minutes. According to China Daily, the device’s corresponding app has access to the user’s cellphone microphone, location, and camera.

 

Those forced to wear the device have raised concerns about how it monitors the location and what is done with the data collected. The development of the device was a collaboration between the government and Beijing Microchip Sensing Technology, which is backed by Chinese tech giant Tencent.

 

One of the people that received the wristband was Dahongmao, a tech blogger who shared his experience with the device on social media.

 

“If this bracelet can connect to the internet, it definitely can record my movements and it’s almost like wearing electronic handcuffs. I don’t want to wear it,” he said.

 

“The issuer said it’s a requirement from higher up and that I shouldn’t make it difficult for her. I said I would not want to make it difficult for her but she could tell those above her that I won’t wear it. If you insist that I wear it, you’ll have to come up with the documents that prove that it’s a Beijing government requirement and that this is not some unlicensed company trying to make a profit.”
