What if a surveillance state
What if a surveillance state becomes reality? In China George Orwell´s classic 1984 seems happening now as a surveillance state is infiltrating daily life. Is China´s President Xi Jinping heading China into a complete surveillance state? Has China already become an all-seeing state that records all citizen´s bad actions?
Ruben Terlou arrived at the end of his journey, in the now locally controlled Macau. In this last episode the photographer tries to see what China´s future will bring. What can Chinese face in the next decade with a President like Xi Jinping and will they be able to deal with the new technological developments?
The future of China - if it is up to President Xi Jinping - is characterized by Chinese entrepreneurship and a great technological progress. But the same technology also ensures far-reaching control possibilities for all Chinese citizens by the Party. The surveillance state that sees everything and also gathers all the information has become reality. But not everywhere this development has been embraced. Especially in Macau - together with Hong Kong the only part of China with self-government and a certain degree of democracy - this growing control is viewed with suspicion.
China is the land of the box haulers. Everything that is electric is made here.
Electric cars, drones, smart cameras: To president Xi Jingping it´s good business. And there is no end to the new inventions. But where is China heading to and what are Xi´s plan for the next decade?
Electric transport is a priority for China. With electric cars for example China can not only make the air less polluted but also generated a lot of money. Ruben performs a test drive with the latest electric racing car and he probably meets the only politician in China who dares to say openly that Orwell's 1984 is near.
