Best Buy

In October 2021, a spokesperson for Best Buy announced that it was "discontinuing its relationship" with Lorex and Ezviz. Both are providers of home security systems owned by Chinese companies: Lorex is a subsidiary of Dahua Technology, and Ezviz is a video surveillance camera brand owned by Hikvision.

In 2017, Dahua received over $900 million to build comprehensive surveillance systems which supported a “re-education” system of extra-legal internment, checkpoints, and ideological training for Muslim populations in northwestern China. Cameras made by Hikvision have been deployed throughout Xinjiang, and provide the primary camera technology used in the internment camps.
