What I find interesting about their sample data sets is the Social Graph one, which uses a model of data that afaik only the Chinese government would have access to: tying everything to a person's identity including where they've slept and how they've traveled.

They then demonstrate a sample query on this dataset, called 'connection mining', identifying people who have enough data in common with a given person.

Now, although the Datanami article does not particularly state the Beijing government as making use of TigerGraph's services, it does mention his clients as including 2 Chinese state-owned companies, State Grid and China Mobile.

Given it's been established his clientele includes Chinese state-owned companies and no-one but the Chinese government has the data described in this 'Social Graph' data set though, let's say this may have been made for Beijing. Sounds like they might be using this query to track dissidents by association.
