Termination of contracts could shield company from Donald Trump’s incoming US administration
Chinese surveillance technology group Hikvision has terminated five contracts with local governments in the north-western region of Xinjiang, a move that could help shield it from pressure from the incoming administration of US president-elect Donald Trump. Trump’s first administration blacklisted Hikvision in 2019 over its alleged role in facilitating human rights abuses against Xinjiang’s mainly Muslim Uyghur ethnic group.
Rubio has led the charge against Hikvision, security camera company Dahua Technology and SenseTime, a Chinese artificial intelligence business that specialises in facial recognition, saying they “pose national security dangers to the United States or are complicit in the Communist party’s build-up of its Orwellian surveillance state” in Xinjiang.
