A Chinese security camera company has been advertising ethnicity recognition features to British and other European customers, even while it faces a ban on UK operations over allegations of involvement in ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang.
In a brochure published on its website, Hikvision (Canadian site) advertised a range of features that it said it could provide in collaboration with the UK startup FaiceTech.
These included using facial recognition for retail security, border control, and anti-money laundering checks for retail banking.
