Will be a fun little war, chinks with thier bullpups and rebels with AKs and personal/ military drones flying around like its a hobbyist convention

but Chechnya is loyal now

so it will all work out

😌

Chechnya is a wild dog the Russians cannot let go nor handle safely

but it's been handled

the leaders are loyal now

nah china control xinjiang too hard for that

The leaders are on knife's edge with thier own people constantly, a stable leadership doesnt occasionally have GRAD attacks on fucking aprtment blocks.

Ben, they got qr codes on their walls. So what? I don't understand news/information behind it..

Its an interesting way of using tech to control populations.

leadership is never stable

Is it though?

Both the shame of having a placard you cannot remove and displayed publically and the paranoia of the secret police is pretty cyberpunk.

I only see a guy using his cellphone to get information immediately for what he elsewise had to call the local town hall or something similar

it's a tiny qr square

that's hanging on a thread

it's not even bolted down

Its the symbolism behind it. Its just a placard, but it may as well be bolted down. Resentment and shame are powerful tools that I see being used pretty effectively here. They can just quietly keep tabs and simply type down the location on a phone and have all of it and probably already do but they choose to do this for a reason.

Or I'm reading too deeply into another retarded peice of chinese bureaucracy.

Tbh I don't see a point besides time of the federal workers there

If you'd do the same here

Nothing would change as well

He could be the next Nvidia ceo with that face and that jacket

```In some locales, authorities have put QR codes on every home.[176]Xinjiang is not the only region in which the Chinese authorities have put QR codes on residences, however, and authorities claim these “smart” doorplates help with both population control and service delivery.[177] In Xinjiang, officials scan the doorplates with their mobile devices when they enter to monitor the inhabitants:

Starting from spring 2017, every … home, where one enters, there’s a QR code. Then every two days or every day, the cadres come and scan the QR code, so they know how many people live here, and starting around then, they would ask [our] visitors ‘Why are you here?’... In the evenings the cadres would check as well.[178]
```

yeah mostly just the symbolism + the other stuff they're doing

also lol qr codes on kitchen knifes

```Other security measures include requiring people in some locales to put QR codes on certain types of knives, including kitchen and craft knives, and linking the codes to their ID card numbers.[28] In Xinjiang’s capital, Urumqi, all liquids – including water – lighters, and powders are banned from public transport.[29]

```

tbh don't know why it's the qr codes on doors getting attention - guess it's just the image that lets it
