All of that was coupled with a new law that would basically require companies to have backdoors in their products, either directly or through "ventures" with a local Chinese company (pretty much all major US tech companies have already agreed to this), a more aggressive crackdown on VPNs and encryption, including cryptocurrencies, a recently launched advanced video mass surveillance system, and the soon-to-launch "Citizen Score" system. All of that meant to ensure Xi will be able to rule with an ironfist with no questions asked (or if the questions are asked, they will be swiftly silenced). Remember you will be supporting this regime the next time you decide to use a Baidu software framework in your app, or buy a Xiaomi phone. Yes, all smartphones and such are manufactured in China, but at least we can see the end of that road with robotics and automation set-up in other countries. Killing global Chinese brands will be harder, if they are allowed to grow.
