China’s Communist Party is building a new kind of political control through collecting and harnessing personal data, from facial recognition to personal genomes to digital footprints, through AI and other forms of surveillance. Award-winning Wall Street Journal journalists Josh Chin and Liza Lin explore the contours of this new social control, and how it may yet expand, in their new book Surveillance State: Inside China’s Quest to Launch a New Era of Social Control. To hear what they found, and what it might mean for the world, join them, in conversation with Orville Schell, the Arthur Ross Director of Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations, and Jessica Batke, senior editor at ChinaFile.
