Amsterdam has pledged to remove cameras manufactured by Chinese companies across the city due to mounting concerns over the risk of spying and human rights violations.
The Dutch capital plans to phase out as many as 1,280 Chinese-made surveillance installations used to monitor traffic and public spaces within five years, the municipality said in a letter published late Monday. It will specifically ask its suppliers to offer non-Chinese camera systems, the city said.
