Yet, unlike the managers of other forensic databases, Chinese authorities are deliberately enrolling tens of millions of people who have no history of serious criminal activity. Those individuals (including preschool-age children) have no control over how their samples are collected, stored and used. Nor do they have a clear understanding of the potential implications of DNA collection for them and their extended families. Earlier Chinese Government DNA collection campaigns focused on Tibet and Xinjiang, but, beginning in late 2017, the Ministry of Public Security expanded the dragnet across China, targeting millions of men and boys with the aim to 'comprehensively improve public security organs' ability to solve cases, and manage and control society'. This program of mass DNA data collection violates Chinese domestic law and global human rights norms. And, when combined with other surveillance tools, it will increase the power of the Chinese state and further enable domestic repression in the name of stability maintenance and social control." --Introduction Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (page 39-47) Notes © The Australian Strategic Policy Institute Limited 2020 Some text in Chinese Subject Chinese -- Ethnic identity DNA -- Analysis -- Data processing Genealogy -- Computer network resources Genealogy -- China Nationalism -- China -- History -- 20th century Chinese -- Ethnic identity DNA -- Analysis -- Data processing Ethnic relations Genealogy -- Computer network resources Genealogy Nationalism SUBJECT China -- Genealogy -- Abstracts China -- Ethnic relations -- History Subject China Genre/Form Electronic books History Form Electronic book Author Leibold, James, author Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
