CHINA-INTERNAL SECURITY-XINJIANG: FACE RECOGNITION
"Since 2014, Xinjiang has introduced face recognition technology at all major passenger terminals including for purchase of train tickets. It has implemented the real-name system into the station tickets. Passengers entering the station need to produce ID cards and tickets and are subjected to face recognition in case they are waiting to enter the waiting hall. A person with someone else's ID card or buying a ticket for someone else cannot do so. Authorities say other potential applications are University student attendance, retrieving QQ passwords, looking for missing children, etc. |
