China's Social Credit System

Other

George Orwell warned people about this and now it's very much a reality in China. At some point, it will make its way to a Western country(ies) too. 😕

The credit system we have is one thing and it's perfectly fine but this controls your life entirely.

I am sure if someone is rich they not going to be punished.

There's certainly an amount of truth to that. Rich folks tend to be treated nicer and with more respect while also have higher standards than from Middle and Lower Class citizens. You could be the nicest person and be loaded with cash but if an employee sees you don't dress the "correct" way, then you're either refused from entering the establishment or browse the store freely without someone following you which assume you might steal something (this has happened to me in Chinese stores).

China supposedly has the largest population on Earth, so let's see how this Big Brother experiment turns out and if the people eventually break out of character from acting as the system wants them to.
