China's All-Seeing Eye was written to emphasize on the amount of control and surveillance China has on its country. It relates to the movie V for Vendetta very well because just like the amount of surveillance China is implementing so too is this country in this film. There are very strict rules on how much freedom a person is given and the government in this film is run very much like a dictatorship. China's All Seeing Eye takes a look at how some of these total control issues in literature, movies, and history are starting to become a reality in some countries, namely China. The article shows that 20,000 mini cameras are installed in this small city in China called Shenzhen and all of the surveillance will be linked to one grand network. I feel this is an invasion of privacy because people should be allowed some privacy and alone time and if there are mini cameras everywhere, it would make for a very bad place to live, I think. If this happened at Azusa Pacific University, I would probably transfer because I am not happy with security cameras monitoring me 24/7. It's not right and the line has to be drawn somewhere and I feel Shenzhen has crossed that line.
