Earlier this year, I was called into the police station in Shenzhen China. Long story short is, I lease a home here and there is a rule if you don't stay in a hotel, you need to register with the local police station upon entry. Well, I didn't know it applied upon every single entry and exit even if I lease my own home and frankly the local police didn't know either. Anyhow, they pretty well booked me with fingerprints and a mugshot. The guy that did the fingerprints pulled out a saliva DNA swab and was getting ready to hand that to me and I was simultaneously getting red-in-the-face and ready to unload with a hell-raising objection. Fortunately, before I exploded, a higher level officer walked in and waved him off not to make me do the DNA swab. But for sure, they are building the database.
