05-27, 15:30–15:55 (CET), Flower

The Communist Party of China has released new Guidelines on Improving the Social Credit System, setting out measures that shall be taken to enhance security and universality of the System.
After few years of relative media silence on the matter of state surveillance in China, it’s time to reevaluate the stage of development of the SCS and verify, whether it poses a threat to the global community


Jan Pabisiak is the author of two scientific articles dedicated to the People's Republic of China and its unordinary practices in the sphere of state surveillance ("Dangerous, Yet Not So Unique. Characteristics of the Chinese Social Credit") and hybrid warfare ("The Specifics of historical and modern strategic movements of China in the South China Sea").

He specialises in European law and Transatlantic relations, but is also passionate about the Chinese history, having studied Sinology for one year.
