I'm not sure why this is news.
This is happening already in a lot of countries.
For example in The Netherlands we have facial recognition in street cars so they can detect people who have a public transport ban. Since 2013.

- tantalor 9y agoRead carefully to identify the source: Police said the 31-year-old, who was wanted for "economic crimes", was "shocked" when he was caught. The source was Chinese police. So, in essence, this is propaganda, not news. Propaganda: information that is not objective and is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda
