Page 14 n THE ASIAN REPORTER N.W. JOB MARKET / BIDS & PUBLIC NOTICES December 3, 2018 NORTHWEST JOB MARKET SEARCH BACKLASH. A computer screen shows the leaked online post from Guilin University of Electronic Technology warning of “hostile domestic and foreign powers” that were “wantonly spreading illicit and illegal videos” through the internet in Beijing, China. The Chinese univer- sity’s plan to conduct a blanket search of student and staff electronic devices have come under fire, illustrating the limits of the population’s tolerance for surveillance and raising concern that tactics used on China’s Muslim minorities may be creeping into the rest of the country. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan) Backlash at Chinese university shows limits to surveillance Continued from page 4 It’s unclear what prompted the Guilin university’s planned search. It could have been a trial run to see how the public would react or an overzealous local admini- strator, said Christopher Colley, a National Defense College of the United Arab Emirates assistant professor who has lectured at Chinese universities. Either way, he said, the backlash shows that though online censorship is common in China, physical searches of phones and lap- tops is an extreme measure that many will not accept. “Most people in China are willing to tolerate Big Brother as long as it contri- butes to social stability, but for many, this is going too far,” Colley said. Schools in Xinjiang have been conducting similar searches since the region’s highest court in early 2014 issued a notice forbidding audio and video recordings promoting terrorism, reli- gious extremism, and ethnic division. Teachers and admini- strators at Xinjiang Nor- mal University’s College of Physics and Electronics searched electronic devices in every dormitory on campus on November 9, 2014. A post about the search on the school’s website says, “Through investigating violent and terroristic videos, religious extremism on campus has been weakened.” In 2017, China University of Petroleum’s branch in Karamay, a city in oil country in Xinjiang’s north, ordered various school departments to assign inspectors to search the computers of all teachers on campus. Xinjiang is home to a large Uighur population, a Muslim ethnic group that has long harbored simmering resentment against rule from Beijing. A series of riots and attacks blamed on separatist Uighurs has prompted a sweeping crackdown on Muslims in the region. China has rolled out one of the world’s most aggressive surveillance and policing programs both in Xinjiang and neighboring Tibet. Uighurs are regularly singled out and stopped at checkpoints to have their smartphones scanned for religious content. As The Associated Press reported in May, they risk being detained and sent to internment camps if police find songs or videos they deem suspicious or apps that are commonly used to contact people outside China, such as WhatsApp. “Xinjiang today appears to be the leading-edge of a highly intrusive and coer- cive surveillance society that the (Communist Party) is intent on con- structing across China,” Leibold said.
