In a letter to Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, EPIC urged the Department of Commerce to restrict the export of high-tech surveillance equipment to China. While US law limits the export of tear gas, handcuffs, and shotguns to China, high-tech equipment that is used for communications surveillance and censorship is exported to the country without restrictions. EPIC's letter cited the2005 US State Department report and the Privacy and Human Rights report which document the role that surveillance and censorship technology plays in political repression.
