In retrospect, all of the Asian tourists with cameras should have set our alarm bells off.

But now they have photos of every tourist attraction , piece of infrastructure, and quite a few citizens.

they always did. it was always tits on bull obvious what it was all about too.

theres a reason busloads of them would go literally everywhere, no matter how far from anything of any real interest they were.

Chinese tourists were the OG google maps cars. That was fucking decades of open source intelligence.

You dont get to just go 'im going overseas on holiday' from china, in just the same way you dont get to just go 'im going to North Korea for a holiday' - you get told exactly what you will and wont do, and everything you take photos of is getting taken from you pending approval

Lots of Chinese are put into multimillion dollar houses in CA who don't have jobs. The house is bought with a Chinese company and they literally sit on the property for years to then be resold later.

Imagine what someone could do with all that data and some ingenuity.

tourism is getting out of hand. All those curious idiots who have nothing better to do than travel the world and stare at everything and anything, while all they do is get in the way of the locals. Get rid of them!
