It's one part of China's massive surveillance strategy to tackle the spread of the coronavirus, which has reached just about every region in the country.

Combine that with data scraped from hospital records, police files, and public transportation history.

All that is stored and linked to national ID cards, which gives the Chinese government granular information about all its citizens.

至目前為止，超過 2 億人民使用這個 app。

These new and different uses of technology around the coronavirus may help resolve some of the public health concerns, but it's also another way for the government to gather large amounts of information about people, really, effectively without their consent and, in some cases, without even their knowledge.

這些針對新冠肺炎的技術新穎和有別於以前的用途可以有助解決公共衛生的不安。不過這亦是另一種渠道讓政府搜集人民大量的資訊，並且是沒有經過同意，甚至是在不知情的情況下有效取得。

Huang says increasing population control during a health crisis can be a slippery slope.

他表示在防疫危機期間，人口控制變得嚴密會導致後面的監控問題日益加劇。

This widespread use of surveillance technologies may also encourage the use of the same technologies, surveillance techniques even after they operate, you know, for purposes [that] may not be really justifiable.

現在廣泛使用監控科技等於鼓厲使用相同科技，即使在不合情理的情況下亦可使用該監控技術。

People are also a big part of its surveillance apparatus.
