China is working in the field of powerful facial recognition technology, which is coming up with a technique that can recognize the face of thousands of faces in just three seconds. Under this technique, a person's Photo ID will be able to identify his face with at least 90% accurately in the shortest possible time. Simultaneously, this system will have the ability to easily identify one of the 1.3 billion faces. 

This project of the facial recognition was started by the Ministry of Public Security in 2015. Under this project, a large network of cameras monitoring through cloud systems will be added, whose processing centers will be built across the country.

Due to the large density of the population present in China and due to problems in facial recognition technology, it is not clear how long this project will end. At present, the small form of this technology is being used by the Chinese police in their database, but they are currently being used at a very limited level. In China, this technique is being used in the university's hall and the plane, where a person's 'eyesight nap' or 'grin' is fixed on the camera. 

Commercial entities are already verifying facial recognition transactions through the photos on users’ ID cards which are part of the existing national identity database.
