Original Note:
The law that requires knives to be chained and in some cases even QR coded is only present in the northwest Xinjiang region of China. It is not a country wide requirement. https://chinadigitaltimes.net/2017/10/xinjiang-household-knives-must-ided/?amp The law is being used to primarily track the Uyghur population in the region along with other tactics. https://theintercept.com/2021/01/29/china-uyghur-muslim-surveillance-police/
