Understanding the paranoia that pervades China's seems simple were going to spy on you like stink on _____. Will monitor your telephone calls, internet use and your associations. Given all the spy games one might believe that an institution of higher learning might be a little less paranoid. Wrong. A university in Central China has concluded that spying on their students activities 24 hours a day will instill paranoia, I mean a sense of responsibility in students studying there. Why not just go all the way like Big Brother and install two monitors so that they can really be brought under control and be taught the true meaning of what their future lives have in store for them. A life of suppression.
A university in central China has reportedly been using surveillance cameras to monitor virtually every inch of its 73-hectare (181-acre) campus, including its classrooms and dormitories.
The Wuchang University of Technology in the city of Wuhan reportedly introduced the technology last year, paying 6 million yuan (about £645,000) in order to keep closer tabs on its 12,500 undergraduates.
A 100-strong team of officials has been tasked with monitoring the images as they are captured, according to a report on cnhubei.com, a news website in Hubei province, where the university is located.
Internet users also reacted to the revelation with suspicion.
“It’s a university, not a prison,” one critic wrote on Weibo, a Chinese site similar to Twitter.
“Can I suggest installing surveillance cameras in the bedrooms of the university’s president and [Communist] party secretary?” said another.
