The health monitoring app that athletes competing in the Beijing Olympics were given has significant security flaws, is linked to a company blacklisted by the United States for Uyghur surveillance, and was developed by a company chaired by a Chinese Communist Party loyalist.

The MY2022 app is owned by Beijing Financial Holdings Group, a state-controlled company founded in 2018 and belonging to the Beijing city government.
