A billboard in a Chinese community displays citizens with the highest social credit score.
In 2015, a 16-year-old student from Jiangsu, China, tried to board a train.
She couldn’t even purchase a ticket.
The student, Zhong Pei, tried enrolling in classes at her university. But she was not allowed to do that either.
Zhong had committed a serious crime: She was guilty of being related to someone else.
Her father had killed two people and died in a car accident. So the Chinese government blacklisted her as “dishonest.”
It took her four months before she was able to overturn the decision and go to her university.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this straight out of The Book Of Revelations?
ReplyDeleteThanks and may well be.
DeleteI specifically remember a line there that went something like, "And each person was given a number and without the number one could not buy, or sell. Without the number men could not feed their families." This idea seems pretty damn close.
ReplyDeleteWas that 1984?
