Creating the coronopticon

摘要

HAVING BEEN quarantined at his parents' house in the Hebei province in northern China for a month, Elvis Liu arrived back home in Hong Kong on February 23rd. Border officials told him to add their office's number to his WhatsApp contacts and to fix the app's location-sharing setting to "always on", which would let them see where his phone was at all times. They then told him to get home within two hours, close the door and stay there for two weeks.
