Chinese technology capable of mass surveillance 'installed' by Myanmar internet company funded by UK — Finance Uncovered 5/22/25, 11:56 AM Geedge Networks founded by Fang Binxing (above) ‘Security and intelligence’ From its Beijing research and development centre, Geedge boasts it is a “global provider of network security and intelligence equipment and solutions”. Co-founded by Fang Binxing, the man credited with building China’s Great Firewall, one of the world’s most notorious internet censorship systems, Geedge claims it offers “encrypted traffic visibility” to broadband service providers and telecommunication companies around the world. Last year, a JFM investigation obtained leaks which suggested that Geedge’s Tiangou secure gateway[4] (TSG) sits at the heart of the Myanmar junta’s newly upgraded surveillance system. Described by Geedge as a “one-stop solution for network perimeter security,” TSG is equipped with “deep packet inspection” capabilities, meaning it can capture, decode and analyse packets of data, such as the content of emails and the details of a user’s internet traffic. This technology can be used to neutralise sophisticated cyber attacks — but also to monitor and eavesdrop on people’s communications. New information provided to FU by well-placed sources suggests that Frontiir hosts the same TSG technology in its own data centre in east Yangon. This has the potential to allow the junta’s cybersurveillance team to remotely monitor web traffic and “intercept most things,” according to one source. Geedge did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Digital rights activists claim that the junta has rolled out technology allowing its cyber security team to remotely monitor web traffic not just at Frontiir’s Myanmar Net, but all https://www.financeuncovered.org/stories/british-norwegian-and-danis…litary-run-myanmar-which-hosts-notorious-chinese-surveillance-system Page 4 of 12
