The CCP Is Creating a Totalitarian System That Is Beyond Orwellian

In his book "Nineteen Eighty-Four," author George Orwell imagined a futuristic “INGSOC” or “English Socialism,” where the totalitarian regime controlled its population with constant video surveillance and ideological control. His imagining of that system included televisions that watch civilians, information control, historical revisionism, and logical tricks to make people accept lies as truth. In China today, all of these systems are actually in place already under the Chinese Communist Party. But in a new communist push, the CCP is rolling out new forms of technology that will take surveillance and social control far beyond what Orwell could have imagined. We’ll discuss what’s now happening in China on this episode of Crossroads.
