⚡️🇺🇸🇨🇳 NEW - U.S. tech giants Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, and others helped build China’s "Golden Shield" surveillance system, using "predictive policing" to analyze texts, calls, and DNA to preemptively detain people deemed suspicious.

An AP probe reveals that American tech companies supplied billions in tools that enabled China’s vast surveillance network, fueling crackdowns on dissidents, Uyghurs, and ordinary citizens.

🔹 Systems like the “Golden Shield,” built with IBM, Dell, Cisco, and others, powered predictive policing and mass detention in Xinjiang.

🔹Despite sanctions since 2019, U.S. hardware and software still underpin China’s digital control, raising global concerns over human rights and authoritarian exports.
