China expert Gordon G. Chang, a Gatestone Institute distinguished senior fellow, reports that there now are 60 surveillance cameras watching 30 tables, and their occupants, at the Haidilao Hot Pot restaurant in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

They’re significant because the images they capture are fed directly to China, as part of the more than 600 million cameras that nation’s Communist regime has installed and operates to monitor the behavior of … everyone.
“Beijing will, at some point, be able to assign a social credit score to just about everyone on the plant,” Chang explains. “Yes, it is true that its officials have yet to overcome the obstacles – mainly bureaucratic – in knitting together a China-wide social credit system for individuals, but it is just a matter of time before they succeed.”
Much of the West hasn’t paid a lot of attention yet to China’s social credit scores.
They began in 2014 when China’s State Council set guidelines for the system, which was to be operational by 2020 – it’s now expected to be fully implemented by 2025.
There are feeds from some 626 million surveillance cameras and smartphone scanners and other sources that eventually will “assign to every person in China a constantly updated score based on observed behaviors. For example, criticizing Chinese ruler Xi Jinping in a social media posting would result in the lowering of an individual’s score,” Chang reported.
“There are consequences for low-scored individuals. As officials say, the purpose of the system is to ‘allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step.’ People with low scores have been denied social services, mortgages, and even the right to board trains and planes. There are also ‘interconnecting repercussions for family, friends, associates, and businesses both in and outside China,’ [Ina] Mitchell, an investigative journalist and co-author with [Scott] McGregor of the upcoming The Mosaic Effect, tells Gatestone.”

And now those monitors are being activated outside China.
He explained the restaurant manager, Ryan Pan, said the cameras are there to “people track” for China’s “social credit system.”
The facility is part of a chain of nearly 1,000 such restaurants worldwide.
“Why did Beijing select Ryan Pan’s restaurant for such intensive collection of information? For starters, it is in British Columbia’s most important city for China. ‘Vancouver,’ says Mitchell, ‘is a gateway for the Chinese Communist Party into North America where they engage in pervasive foreign interference activity, mobilizing overseas United Front units to strategically lure political and business leaders using financial inducements and other incentives to promote the Party’s agenda,'” Chang wrote.
Further, that restaurant is near the facility serving a Huawei Technologies executive.
The move is a clear indication China wants “to keep tabs on the rest of the world.”
Previously, he said, between 2012 and 2017 that nation downloaded – secretly – data from the computers at the Beijing-donated and Chinese-built headquarters of the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia through … Huawei servers.
And Beijing’s desire for data prompted it to give tens of billions of dollar to Huawei so that company, the world’s largest maker of telecom networking gear, is integral to 5G networks.

So far, Canada has not responded to the active camera monitoring, even though the province’s Personal Information Protection Act does not allow the operation, he said.
“So far, the Haidilao Hot Pot restaurant — and China — have gotten off scot-free,” he said.
“China’s Communist Party wants to know everything that happens everywhere. So far, the Western democracies do not seem to be putting up much of a fight,” he said.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
