CANCELLED China's High-tech Totalitarianism and its Impacts on the Global Order

The rapid development of digital technologies has enabled the Chinese government to deploy new tools of social control. The unprecedented “high-tech totalitarianism” combines traditional repression with cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence, big data, facial recognition, biometric surveillance, and digital censorship, which enables predictive policing, real-time monitoring, and mass social engineering. It has a profound impact on China’s domestic politics and civil society, liberal democratic values, international security, tending to reshape the global order.
