The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) has issued a report emphasizing the global implications of China's surveillance technology and its repression of Uyghurs. On April 1, 2026, Oliver Stirbock, a member of the Hesse State Parliament in Germany, questioned the use of surveillance systems from Chinese companies Hikvision and Dahua by local authorities, urging for clearer human rights guidelines. This inquiry aligns with WUC's longstanding concerns that such technologies contribute to the mass surveillance of Uyghurs in China. Additionally, April 5 marked 36 years since the Baren Uprising, a significant event in Uyghur history, where protests against coercive population control policies were met with a military crackdown. Commemorative events took place in Munich and Berlin, emphasizing the need for justice. On April 7, WUC Executive Committee Chair Rushan Abbas spoke at the Global Counterterrorism Forum in Guatemala, highlighting the dangers of China's surveillance practices spreading internationally. Furthermore, China has enacted a new 18-point framework to bolster state control over its industrial and supply chains, raising concerns about its implications for foreign entities and global economic stability.
