My cousin who lives in Japan was telling me about this

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3096090/what-chinas-social-credit-system-and-why-it-controversial

Essentially similar to the black mirror episode where everyone had a social score, and you go through minimal work to determine another’s social score.

Examples of actions that increase your score
-publicly saying something good about government
-visiting your parents or grand parents
-donating to charity

Examples of actions that decrease your score:
-cheating in online video games
-not apologizing or appearing remorseful for a crime committed
-slander including online

This score apparently has high weight and is used in job applications and administering loans.

Any doubts I had that the Chinese will definitively take over as premier super power are now over. Largest population in the world, and one that is now forced to be docile/compliant. Coupled with their AI/tech superiority that they are quickly obtaining. Creepy times. It truthfully doesn’t matter if you have Trump, Biden , Hitler or Hannity as president, I think its safe to say this is a runway train. What are your guys thoughts and should I be learning mandarin and teach it to my child now or later

China and other nations are playing the long game. It has people with much higher work ethic and many more of them. The fat and lazy will fall of the treadmill

Ive maintained that i will support any and all anti chinese politicians for this reason

All the parties in canada suck unfortunately

this

been in place in North Korea for a long ass time as well. only they punish several generations.

You don't need to learn mandarin. They've all learned English.

To be clear I would only be learning it so I can teach it to my child haha

They all learned English because America was the super power of the world for the last 100 years

“Those who lose credibility will find it hard to make a tiny step in society,” Premier Li Keqiang said in a speech in 2018.

Wow, Trump would have been fucked a long time ago. All he does is lie.

A social credit system sounds good until you think about it for like two seconds.
