How Does China’s Social Credit System Work?
Big brother is coming for America next
China has one of the lowest freedom indexes in the entire world. It’s almost at the North Korea level it’s so bad.
The Chinese Communist Party even banned Winnie the Pooh because their president was being compared to him too much. I know. A bitch move.
Now things are getting worse.
Many parts of China are being subjected to a social credit system that ranks them by good or bad behavior, with performance-related rewards and punishment.
It’s one-part Black Mirror and two parts Orwell, with a dash of Huxley for good measure. Meanwhile, the Chinese government is defending the system saying it's an efficient way to discourage undesirable behavior.
“The creditworthy will be granted conveniences in education, employment and opening start-ups, while severe wrongdoing will be made public,” the CCP made in a public address.
So is China’s social credit system as bad as critics say — and is America next?
