AP investigation into how US tech enabled China's surveillance state

On this episode of The Story Behind The AP Story, journalists Dake Kang and Yael Gruer take a closer look at their investigation into the role of US companies in enabling China's surveillance state. They revealed that U.S. technology companies to a large degree designed and built China’s surveillance state, playing a far greater role in enabling human rights abuses than previously known. Firms including IBM, Dell, and Cisco sold billions in technology to Chinese police and government agencies, despite repeated warnings that such tools were being used to quash dissent, persecute religious sects and target minorities. Critically, American surveillance technologies allowed a brutal mass detention campaign in the far west region of Xinjiang. Most of the companies told AP they comply with U.S. and Chinese laws and regulations.
