China may move into mass biometric scanning, as it has recently approved a multi-camera face recognition system

The invention, developed by Su Guangda, an Electronic Engineering Department professor with Beijing-based Tsinghua University, has been approved by a panel of experts from the Ministry of Public Security...
Excelling at capturing moving facial images and featuring a multi-camera technology to lower the error for mismatching, the system will be used in public places, such as airports, post offices, customs entrances and even residential communities, in the near future...
"It has a superior advantage compared with fingerprint identification because the country doesn't have a fingerprint database for the general public," said Su.

Residential communities?
