The Chinese government has introduced a data-driven social credit system to force its citizens to be honest and trustworthy, ranking them by good or bad behaviour, with performance-related rewards and punishment.
Using algorithms to keep people honest, the central message is: “Forge a public message that to keep trust is glorious”.
The new system will make citizens more accountable and build a national credit rating system, according to the State Council or cabinet, but many are wary of allowing the Communist Party access so many personal details, especially as President Xi Jinping’s government has cracked down on personal freedom.
Due to roll out in 2020, the social credit system uses big data technology to collect information on all citizens and analyse that information to rate behaviour, including financial creditworthiness and personal conduct.
“The creditworthy will be granted conveniences in education, employment and opening start-ups, while severe wrongdoing will be made public,” run directives from the State Council.

Can they be exchanged for tendies?

This is going to end in disaster. Taiwan and Hong Kong will never accept it.
Joshua Edwards
there might be a quarterly tendie dividend, if you've been good
Henry Cooper
aren't chinese normally known as amoral emotionless beings? Hence the videos of chinese people running over children and onlookers not assisting the child in any way?
Perhaps the Chinese, due to their intelligence, realize they are socially inept, and are working to correct this through government action. It's fucked up to me but perhaps for the chinamen this is a solution to their woes.
Brandon Cook
CYYYHHHNNAAAA!
Ryder Morgan
That's because they are smarter than us.
Ryan Stewart
Hong Kong will since they are China now.
Taiwan won't unless it becomes China. (Taiwan isn't really part of China by any logical definition even though China considers it part of China.)

It's like a video game but it's one of the modern ones with pay dlc and transactions.

More like that Black Mirror episode. It is hardly noteworthy for glorious Satsuki, our one true leader.

Hilarious. A country full of soulless beasts using technology as a means to keep them in line. They are doing the same with the religious boom of Christianity like ex convicts do. China just die you suck.

Oh, the one with the facebook turned up to 11.
Yeah, that was some horrific shit.

Well they aren't judging crime coefficients / pre-crime just yet...

Maybe you shouldn't judge them based on the norm in your society. Not every observable behavior comes down to genetics.
Logan Campbell
chinese people usually kill the people they run over because they have to pay for the medical care for life if they survive
Colton Sanchez
CUZ I FEEEEEEEEEL It seems the same. On the other hand, one must accept that this is simply legislating the contemporary. Conformism is the key to success in this fucked up society, already. Might as well rack up some points?
Angel Harris
This is eugenic and has the potential to raise the level of their civilization. Distrust is a friction that inhibits cooperation, so if they manage to create a higher trust society, cooperation will be easier, economic activity will be more rapid, and they will become more competitive.
Adrian Phillips
>a higher trust society >Forcing people to conform Very trusty.

You cant escape data collection. Every word you post online, every thought is saved and analysed. After around 20 years it is discarded unless privately saved.
Jason Cooper
Propensity for tyranny east asians have is clearly genetic. Japanese less so probably becaue of Jomon admixture. Japs are north chinese with jomon and siberian admixture and north koreans are north chinese with siberian and mongolian admixture. South koreans are north koreans with less mongolian but more southeast asian and probably some jomon admixture. Whereas chinese are a mix of north chinese related to mongols and south chinese similar to vietnamese and maybe even taiwanese aborigines.
>Not every observable behavior comes down to genetics.
I mean east europeans have some mongoloid admixture from siberians(including paleolithic Siberians) and mongolians and they clearly have predisposition to authoritarian governments.
Blake Johnson

yeah but they didnt know that i have my own elephant. Opensource datamining is a thing. There are more partys then they know who are making lists.
and maybe checking it twice who is naughty and nice.

Yes now we ha China as a real life example. With numer of chinks and canada and australia they will probably introduce similar systems
Evan Roberts
I'm not saying that there isn't companies/people doing it for simply the experience and possible revelations. I'd like to add, that Mark Zuckerberg had a meeting with China last year looking into the exact thing OP is posting about.
Owen Howard
And this is what everyone should be concerned about. This video explains it very well. youtube.com/watch?v=lHcTKWiZ8sI "Mandatory at 2020" .... China is the proving ground. It will be implemented by most Governments later on.

I think the 2016 election is proof that'd never really work in the Western world. We're too focused on a capitalistic society which is completely adverse to a highly controlled population.

Blake Gutierrez
>Keep thinking that and prepare for a surprise. So the whole basis of this system is social stigma of (certain) opinions being so overwhelming that it fuels complete obedience of the citizens.
Take a look at porn.
Not to mention, they're have to be 1 over arching party in power, AND the "system" would also have to account for fact that cultures (here in the U.S. at least) vary from state to state.
You can't leash Americans, for the simple fact as soon as you do, it's "cool" to be the complete opposite.
Owen Wright
Its next level communist oppression. If you ever played blizzard games their community is pure collectivist or if you ever been to Reddit its the same. They say people who dont conform to their standards should be punished. Thats exactly what China is going to do in with this tally system except its your real life. I wouldnt be surprised if citizens with low scores are placed into housing blocks and treated like full on second class citizens. Oh it almost happened in america before we lashed out electing trump. Its the liberal agenda and i now feel the dark cloud above me clearing.
Robert Lee
Sounds like one of those "common sense" laws those libtards love so much. >You should let Windows datamine you, guys! It makes the experience better!
>Oh it almost happened in america before we lashed out electing trump. Literally the proliferation of information (the internet) is shrinking the window for some authoritarian take over... probably at the rate of Moore's Law. If anything, this Chinese system will be used to sell you stuff. I'm not saying it can't happen, or that it shouldn't be on the radar, but I just think more probable things could occur before.
Isaiah Wood
literally black mirror
Mason Martin
It's similar to North Korean Songbun system but more insidious and you can improve your score unlike in North Korea where it is permanent.
James Sullivan
Finally, a system that polices those souless monsters.
Lincoln Morales
Sounds like they're trying to overturn their rep for shoddy products and doggy trading. There's a cultural expectation in China that is sort of like 'you get what you pay for' except it applies to midrange products as well a dirty cheap. You can expect to be shafted if you're not paying premium.
Overturning that tradition would help with western trade immeasurably. Seems like a fairly Chinese way of doing it, even if it's a bit too collectivist for western tastes.
Either that or its basic bitch thought policing. Equally likely really.
James Cox
I think its a good thing, since chinese people are notorious for their dishonesty.
I wish they would implement the same system in Israel.

Geopolitics. China collapses without a strong govt. to keep the regions with ocean access in check. Russia collapses without a strong govt. to keep all the minorities and border regions in check. Japan is more secure but needs to rely on trade since it lacks energy resources. Korea is caught between China and Japan so they are either controlled by one of those or also need a strong govt. Genetics are a meme that no one in decision making roles takes seriously.
Connor Robinson
Taiwan is China. It's real name is the Republic or China.
William Anderson
They don't act human in the first place without the threat of violence or rewards incentive, so it's understandable. Bunch of fucking flies.
Ayden Diaz
>Genetics are a meme that no one in decision making roles takes seriously.
Genetics are real as different populations consistently behave differently as a whole and have different laws.
Hudson Baker
It's not genetics, its culture.
Benjamin Mitchell
Culture in part is determined by genetics as different populations have different inclinations formed by selection in their environment over thousands of years.
Gavin Ramirez
WE PSYCHO PASS NOW
Easton Green
Only in part. The Chinese are actively trying to modernise their culture on their own initiative, I have to applaud that.
Logan Cooper
>one population lives on an island >another population lives in the middle of a continent surrounded by hostile countries wtf why do they act differently must be genetics If you believe genetics plays such a large role then why did the Americans for example change so much when they moved to America from mainly European countries. Geography shapes culture and culture shapes behavior, genetics in comparison play a much smaller role (except for maybe africans) in creating a culture.

It's been mandatory to join this system for at least a year. I posted this shit on here in late 2015, but nobody seemed to care.
Just because it's going public in 2020 doesn't mean it doesn't exist yet. Banks already have access to it, and you can check your own. Fun fact, hanging around with people who have low scores decreases yours. Especially if they are not acting with china's best intentions in heart. i.e. criticizing the government.
