China is using AI to monitor every aspect of life of every citizen in its country by integrating it into every technology used in daily life, A report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute shows how China has been building the very central-controlled AI-mass-machine many in the west hope to bring over here. The cutting edge nature of their pre-crime surveillance capacity is the envy of the world for oligarchs everywhere, and thus will define the next decade or more.
Report reveals how China uses artificial intelligence to surveil 1,4 billion people – CPG Click Petróleo e Gás
A document from the Australian institute ASPI shows how China integrates cameras, drones, courts, prisons, and tech giants into an AI ecosystem that automates censorship, predicts protests, monitors minorities, and exports inexpensive mass surveillance models used by other authoritarian countries, such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, around the world.
In a report cited in a news article by CNN Brazil, Published on December 6, 2025, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute describes how China has been using artificial intelligence to transform its surveillance apparatus into a system capable of… Predicting protests, monitoring prisoners, and controlling what 1,4 billion people can see online.The document points out that technology is already infiltrating daily life, connecting the Great Firewall, cameras scattered throughout cities, and digital monitoring tools to a single political project.
A growing number of ultra-wealthy Chinese nationals are turning to U.S. surrogates to have children on American soil, taking advantage of America’s largely unregulated market and birthright citizenship, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
In one such case, Chinese video game billionaire Xu Bo has sought parental rights for at least four unborn children in Los Angeles, having already fathered or arranged surrogacy for at least eight additional children, according to the WSJ. The trend coincides with intensifying debates over the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of U.S. citizenship for anyone born in the country, a policy the Trump administration has sought to reinterpret.

The daughter of pro-democracy activist, businessman, former newspaper owner, and Catholic convert Jimmy Lai has spoken out for the first time since her father’s incarceration five years ago as his trial under Hong Kong’s draconian National Security Law (NSL) continues to plod along.
In an EWTN video interview and in a Washington Post op-ed, Clarie Lai says that her father, who just turned 78 years old, is languishing in prison, “shrinking to nothing. If China fails to act, he’ll be a martyr.”
“My father is suffering from rapidly deteriorating health,” Claire wrote in the Post. “He has diabetes and hypertension, his hearing and vision are failing, he has suffered from months-long infections and is in constant pain that sometimes leaves him struggling even to stand up. But the most visible and alarming sign of his plight is severe weight loss.”

The Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control holds a hearing on Chinese drug trafficking through Latin America to the United States on Tuesday, December 9.
The hearing seeks to “uncover how the Chinese mafia drives synthetic opioid trafficking to the United States in the context of increased Chinese investment and trade with Latin America and the Caribbean.”
The hearing comes as Democrats continue to claim that the Trump administration is issuing illegal orders in their strikes against narco-terrorist drug boats in the Carribean.

Diplomatic dispute deepens between Tokyo and Beijing over Taiwan remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
China will again ban all imports of Japanese seafood as a diplomatic dispute between the two countries escalates, Japanese media report.
Japanese public broadcaster NHK and Kyodo News agency said on Wednesday that the seafood ban follows after China earlier this month lifted import restrictions on Japanese marine products, which were imposed by Beijing in 2023 after the release of treated radioactive water from Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea.
The term “smart city” fails to fully capture the integrated data system that is the Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Chinese authorities call it the “city brain,” a centrally controlled A.I. center that surveils and manages the city and its inhabitants. It offers a disturbing preview of future urban governance, built on a previously unimaginable level of monitoring and control. Since 2017, this system has linked hundreds of government databases to tens of thousands of sensors, effectively turning an entire urban district into a single, real-time data object.
Officials defend the surveillance for its tangible rewards: cleaner neighborhoods, faster emergency response, smoother traffic, and better protection for isolated seniors. Those benefits help explain why many citizens accept the system. But the costs are equally real. It normalizes penetrating, constant visibility, the steady expansion of behavior-based penalties, and an infrastructure that is also used for political and social control.

A Chinese consul general in Japan threatened to decapitate the nation’s new prime minister over her comments in defense of Taiwan, prompting outrage in Tokyo and underscoring the rising tension between the two regional powers.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who took office last month, told a parliamentary committee Friday that a Chinese blockade of Taiwan would likely create a “survival-threatening situation” for Japan — one that could compel Tokyo to deploy its Self-Defense Forces in response. The democratically governed island sits just 60 miles from Japanese territory.
Xue Jian, the Chinese consul general in Osaka, fired back in a since-deleted X post on Sunday: “That filthy neck that barged in on its own — I’ve got no choice but to cut it off without a moment’s hesitation. Are you prepared for that?”
