YANGON, Myanmar, Sept 20 — Myanmar's junta has asked China for help implementing a new electronic identification system, state media reported today, for a census that critics say will be used to increase surveillance of its opponents.
Myanmar's military leaders plan to roll out an electronic ID system that will collect"biographic data and the biometric data of citizens aged 10 years and above," state media reported. More than 1.6 million people are also currently displaced by the violence that has riven the country since the coup, according to the United Nations.
