> recognition glasses spotted a heroin smuggler at a train station.

> In Qingdao, a city famous for its German colonial heritage, cameras 
> powered by artificial intelligence helped the police snatch two dozen 
> criminal suspects in the midst of a big annual beer festival.

> In Wuhu, a fugitive murder suspect was identified by a camera as he 
> bought food from a street vendor.

> With millions of cameras and billions of lines of code, China is 
> building a high-tech authoritarian future. Beijing is embracing 
> technologies like facial recognition and artificial intelligence to 
> identify and track 1.4 billion people. It wants to assemble a vast and 
> unprecedented national surveillance system, with crucial help from its 
> thriving technology industry.
