The Chinese government has denied that it worked with the company to spy on other countries. According to The Washington Post, it has reviewed 100 presentations from the company that can show how it's linked to China's projects. Many of the slides were marked confidential, but they were posted on a public-facing website until they were removed last year.
A technology that can help authorities analyze voice recordings by comparing them against a large database of recorded "voiceprints" has been translated into English by The Post. It could be used to identify people involved in political dissent, Hong Kong and Taiwan matters, and discussions surrounding ethnic relations, according to the publication.
A slide shows a prison system that has been put in place in prisons in Inner Mongolia and other areas. The Uyghur ethnic group's Detained in Xinjiang's internment camps accuse their operators of forced labor, torture and detaining them without charges.
A slide shows how a number of criminal suspects were captured with the help of facial recognition technology fromHuawei. Another shows a system that uses electronic devices to track people. It's in use in Guangdong, which is China's most populous province.
The Post can't say who the slides were shown to or when, but it can say that many of them were edited as recently as last year. The Washington Post reported that the company has no knowledge of the projects mentioned in the report and that it provides "cloud platform services that comply with common industry standards."
