Hopefully US surveillance won’t see this, and get any ideas:
China has ramped up surveillance measures in Xinjiang, home to much of its Muslim minority population, according to reports from Radio Free Asia.
Authorities sent out a notice over a week ago instructing citizens to install a “surveillance app” on their phones, and are conducting spot checks in the region to ensure that residents have it…
The notice, written in Uyghur and Chinese, was sent by WeChat to residents in Urumqi, Xinjiang’s capital.
Android users were instructed to scan the QR code in order to install the Jingwang app that would, as authorities claimed, “automatically detect terrorist and illegal religious videos, images, e-books and electronic documents” stored in the phone. If illegal content was detected, users would be ordered to delete them.
Users who deleted, or did not install the app, would be detained for up to 10 days, according to social media users.
Well, that is one way to do it.
The Chinese are smart, and very forward looking. And they have a Muslim problem. They could be as vital to the survival of Western Civilization as the Russians one day.
The big advantage we in the K-west have is that the primary threat will be Muslim takeovers of leftist Western governments. If radical Islamists were to take over any Western nations, they will control Western nukes, Western intelligence services, and Western military machines. Given that the Chinese have their own Muslim problems, they do not want a global jihad with Islamist forces backed by any Western nation’s war machinery. If I were alt-right in Europe, I’d consider swinging by the local Chinese consulate, and see if there is any use in forming some sort of relationship now and keeping it on ice, should it be needed later when the big war begins. In war, you use the resources at your disposal, and there could be worse resources than having a ruthless first world intelligence agency filled with hyper K-Chinese offering support in the second European Crusade.
It seems unlikely the Muslims could ever take over any Western nation, but how likely was it fifteen years ago, right after 9/11, that the west would be actively trying to import Muslims as quickly as possible, in a desperate bid to flood their nations with rapists and welfare cheats. If I were China, I would be keeping a cautious eye on the situation, and making sure the easy going Westerners were never replaced by hardcore Islamists.

I think we have to define Western Civilization, and diagnose its unwillingness to “Crusade”, before Western Civ relies on Russia, China and others for help. At some point it’s like asking another man to protect your wife. Doesn’t matter if he might look like you, its still cuckery. A good homework assignment for the Alt-intelligentsia, what is the West? When did it start existing? How would it stop existing? What countries are Western and which are not? Who is a Westerner? It seems so many haven’t read up on Samuel P. Huntington. China though, is doing this to prevent social unrest in the “thin times” to come, and catch spies, and deal with Muslims. The Chinese and Russians are also afraid that the average Westerner would not lift a finger to save their societies.
I don’t think the US intelligence community has to go to the point of forcing people to install surveillance software. All phones run closed source software; it would be easy to include “telemetry” software already present in the operating system like with Windows 10, but because phone users have a much lower level of control over their devices than desktop/laptop users, there’s no chance of them stumbling upon the surveillance software, so there’s no need for the tech companies to be open about it being there.
And even if you flash the phone with an open-source ROM, the baseband chip, which handles all phone calls and mobile data connections, and the wireless chip, which handles all WiFi connections, both run closed source firmware and could be sniffing every phone call and internet packet you send and transmitting it to the NSA. They could even use the baseband or WiFi controllers to install rootkits on the regular phone if they need a greater level of access than just sniffing your phone calls (if they want to know what processes you’re running or what files you have) since both of these devices have direct memory access to the rest of the phone.
If you ever want to be anonymous, phones are a bad idea.
And they have a Muslim problem.
AC, the reason that China has a “Muslim problem” is that they insist on keeping the non-Han Uyghur region as part of the PRC.
What they have is a “part of the world full of people who are not Han, and resent being ruled over by Han.”
It’s not anything comparable to the West. I don’t think any part of Beijing will get turned into a no-go zone for the Chinese police.
