Digital Dictatorship: Law, Power, and Full-Spectrum Conflict

This presentation will explore China’s evolving model of digital control, where surveillance becomes universal through the fusion of law, data infrastructure, and behavioral engineering. By merging physical, digital, and cognitive monitoring, the state transforms governance into a total system of preemptive control.

As a graduate student of statecraft and international affairs, I’m drawn to how digital systems increasingly shape global power and social order. My research focuses on the convergence of surveillance, law, and data architecture—examining how digital control evolves from passive monitoring into an active instrument of behavioral governance.
