Abstract
The DSR will have significant implications for human rights and democratic governance in states that use Chinese surveillance or public-security technology to suppress their populations. The DSR’s effect on civil liberties and norms in participating countries will be determined by the type of technology China is exporting, the ability or desire of recipient states to sustain mechanisms for independent and robust oversight of new surveillance and algorithmic technologies, and the administrative capacity of authoritarian states. On the international stage, Chinese diplomats have called for the application of national sovereignty to the internet. In established liberal democracies, Chinese technological investments have sparked public debate and pushback, with a strong civil society and independent agencies serving as bulwarks against creeping digital repression. Chinese digital authoritarianism is a product both of advanced technologies and a sophisticated state apparatus of repression that has developed over many decades.
