Gordon Chang says Tencent's new biometric palm payment technology brings the Chinese Communist Party one step closer to "total social control" of its citizens.
Chinese expert Gordan Chang warned about China conglomerate Tencent rolling out its biometric palm payment technology will bring the Chinese Communist Party one step closer to"total social control" of its citizens. "Xi Jinping is creating this totalitarian state, total social control, so this certainly helps them," Chang told Fox News Digital."People are resisting, but nonetheless, I think the Communist Party is essentially going to force people to adopt this."
On May 21, Tencent’s WeChat Pay rolled out a new"Palm Pay" service allowing users to make transactions by scanning the palm of their hand. Recognition of a unique palm print triggers an automatic payment through the user’s WeChat account.Tencent's messaging and payment application, WeChat, rolled out a new"Palm Pay" service in May which allows Chinese citizens to complete transaction by scanning their palm.
Currently, users who enroll in the palm-recognition service can pay for metro rides at station turnstiles in Beijing, but Tencent is planning to roll out the service in other settings including offices, campuses, retail outlets and restaurants across mainland China,"This palm technology, biometric recognition, this just gives Beijing even more information about people in China," Chang said.
