Contd. Geedge’s Presence in Other Regions: Fujian and Jiangsu A screenshot of a dashboard from the Fujian project for a week in August 2022, titled “Quanzhou Public Security Bureau Qingyuan System”, shows that most of the “fraudulent websites” blocked in that week were hosted in the United States.

 A screenshot extracted from the Geedge dataset of a dashboard from the Fujian project. Several documents also mention a project in Jiangsu, a coastal province in Eastern China. The stated motivation for Geedge’s collaboration with the local authority, Jiangsu Provincial Public Security Bureau (JPSB), was combating internet scams. Communications show JPSB was hesitant to allow Geedge to create a big data cluster, preferring Geedge to deploy their tools on existing infrastructure. An initial test environment called Jiangsu Nanjing became operational in February 2023, and the Jiangsu Anti-Scam Project seems to have gone into production mode by March 15, 2024.  In their study, Wu et al wrote that their “tests from the U.S. to various locations in China consistently identified the same 411 domains blocked by the GFW, with only one exception: tests from the U.S. to Jiangsu Province detected 440 blocked domains.”72 The authors conducted their measurements between November 2023 and March 2025, with a measurement gap between March and October 2024. It is possible these measurements may have captured Geedge’s nascent operations in the province. Geedge networks has, at various times, deployed test environments and demonstrations in other provinces of China, but they were seemingly only temporary to demonstrate the product or for academic purposes.
