Report: U.S. College Unintentionally Advanced Chinese Surveillance Machine
The report says 20 pilot cities adopted standards tied to the partnership, and the broader research network included a sanctioned defense-linked Chinese entity.
- A Strategy Risks report found that University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers worked with Southeast University on vehicle-road-cloud technology that can monitor traffic and control connected vehicles.
- Five University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers contributed to a 2019 Chinese report that also involved China’s Ministry of Public Security.
- China later incorporated related technology into national standards and began a pilot program using roadside sensors and cloud platforms in 20 cities and regional groupings.
