China’s Digital Silk Road
China is fast becoming a global leader in cutting edge technologies—such as AI, facial recognition, surveillance, and 5G—and is exporting them worldwide. Fans like the high quality and low cost. Critics say China’s technology enables authoritarian control and increases dependence on an autocratic state. They call for democracies, including the U.S., to work together to create a tech ecosystem that protects privacy and freedom of speech.Produced by the Global Reporting Centre (GRC), an editorially independent journalism organization based at the UBC School of Journalism, Writing, and Media.
