The Chinese province of Henan is building a surveillance system with face-scanning technology that can detect journalists and other "people of concern".

Documents seen by BBC News describe a system that classifies journalists into a "traffic-light" system - green, amber and red.

Journalists in the "red" category would be "dealt with accordingly", they say.

The Henan Public Security Bureau has not responded to a request for comment.


There are no human rights violations in Ba Sing Se.

You think the US uses advanced facial recognition software and a massive network of cameras to track every individual in a region and explicitly flag journalists in order to send the police after them if they don't fall into the "good" category?

even if we tried that, theyd stop paying to maintain the cameras and the system would go to shit within 4 years anyway
