The Chinese government today announced the implementation of a new high-tech tracking technology across the country, aiming to. amp; quot; Promote safe and prosperous societies for all citizens. amp; quot; . The program, detailed by Zhou Boqi, chief of China's Ministry of Public Security, will involve the implantation of remote high-frequency rfid devices, which will be implanted in an estimated 140 million citizens over the next 18 months.

Short radio frequency identification is a technique that has been used successfully for many years, mainly in enterprise supply chain management, to facilitate the tracking of goods and inventory.

In the Shenzhen residence permit management information system project, the citizen ID card has been implanted on a chip to record personal information in detail. Cards include such information as employment history, marital status, social welfare status, possibility of armed insurrection, age, number of children born, emotional education, gain and loss, landlord's phone number, etc.

In the upcoming 2008 Beijing Olympics, athlete management will also use the technology, such as to avoid straying into the area of opposing countries, or to avoid eating religious food during meals.
