BEIJING — China is funnelling vast amounts of public and private data into huge databases aimed at tightening its control over its nearly 1.4 billion people.
Civil libertarians warned that it would create a digital Big Brother that would intrude into everyday Chinese life. But the system has yet to materialize for individuals on a mass scale. United, Delta and American received letters last year from Chinese aviation officials saying their social credit score could be hit unless their websites labeled Macao, Hong Kong and Taiwan as part of China. Lower scores would lead to investigations, the possibility of frozen bank accounts, limitations on local employees’ movement and other punishments, according to a letter sent to United and seen by The New York Times.
For instance, Fei said that for years her family’s silk factory had been given dispensation to break environmental rules by local government authorities eager for economic growth. It was finally shut down for environmental reasons. “They put pressure on us in the supply chain to sort out the environmental challenges,” said Jörg Wuttke, president of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, who is also the chief representative of BASF in China. “That’s a definite shift that puts a lot of pressure on us.”
In any case, social credit has proved difficult to use on individuals. China’s central bank canceled plans to include data from popular electronic payment systems run by Alibaba and Tencent, two Chinese internet giants. Pilot programs have been started in only a few places.
Liberal media is so engulfed in attacking trump (probably deserves it). Don’t get me start on liberal hypocritical Hollywood, who is bought by the Chinese money, happily turning a blind eye to its totalitarian regime. chinazi BoycottMulan hkpolicebrutality StandWithHongKong
