The United States Blacklisted This Chinese Company for Human Rights Atrocities. You Can Still Buy Its Cameras on Amazon.

Amazon has it all. Books. Clothes. Chinese surveillance cameras implicated in human rights atrocities.

The online retail giant offers a variety of products from Tiandy, the Chinese company that the Commerce Department blacklisted last week for its involvement in China’s repression of Uyghurs and links to the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. For $6,903, Amazon customers can purchase a Tiandy TC-A3563, which allows “Face Capture/intelligent monitoring mode.” Tiandy’s 17-pound, multi-lens TC-A35555, which “detects up to 32 faces at the same scene,” runs for $9,498.
