Xi Jinping’s ascent to power as Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was accompanied by changes in national governance strategies in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) that have progressively incorporated the use of big data. Shortly after, in May 2015, the Chinese State Council released a set of policy reforms under the abbreviation fang guan fu 放 管 服 (decentralise, manage, and service). These reforms promoted big data led (1) market regulation, (2) supervision and management systems, and (3) service provision processes. By applying a case study analytical approach, this paper explores how advancements in big data contributed to these reforms aimed at centralising information in China. Combining the joint knowledge of surveillance and China studies scholarship, this paper offers evidence of big data surveillance streamlining China’s fragmented intergovernmental policy system. We build on David Murakami Wood’s 2017 outline of a political theory of surveillance

Earlier this year, a virtual event hosted by the School of Religion was subject to an attack.
Guest lectured by Professor Kathryn Lofton of Yale University, the event was called “The Present Life of Blasphemy: Kanye West in American Popular Culture.”
The attack came after the presentation concluded when students were given the chance to ask questions.
“I think people are just bored,” Carly Baldachin, ArtSci ’22, said in an interview with
The Journal. She was one of the students affected by the incident.
“When I first heard that this happened, again, my mind went directly thinking that this was a student,” she said. “I was really scared because I m very proudly Jewish and people know that I don t hide it.”
