Chinese Servitude.

[Norder]

.

The Chinese government are implementing a Mandatory Social Evaluation System....to rate the trustworthiness of the country's citizens.

Under the social credit scheme, points are lost and gained based on readings from a sophisticated network of 200 million surveillance cameras — a figure set to triple in 18 months.
The program has been enabled by rapid advances in facial recognition, body scanning and geo-tracking.
The data is combined with information collected from individuals’ government records — including medical and educational — along with their financial and internet browsing histories. Overall scores can go up and down in “real time” dependant on the person’s behaviour but they can also be affected by people they associate with.
“If your best friend or your dad says something negative about the government, you’ll lose points too,”
Under the system, those deemed to be “top citizens” are rewarded bonus points.



Jaywalking, late payments on bills or taxes, buying too much alcohol or speaking out against the government, each cost citizens points.

But punishable offences include spending too long playing video games, wasting money on frivolous purchases and posting on social media, Penalties range from losing the right to travel by plane or train, social media account suspensions and being barred from government jobs.

as for frivolous purchases....could try boycotting Chinese products - though wouldn't be much left....we would gain points...but anyway - the Fascist Scum will be rolling it out here soon, as not heard them complain about it.
