This behavior plus their own internal social credit system to rate all Chinese citizens. Sadly, some American companies are embracing this. I remember that one company that tried this nonsens, Klout, I believe it was. What rubbish. The human variables are almost limitless. To shoehorn, pigeon hole, whatever people into a set number of variables is simply evil and smacks of an utter desire to control. I can understand the Chinese doing it. They have always had a heavy hand on their own. This tends to be an Asian constant with regard to governments. Even the Japanese are like this. I lived there for three years and noticed it almost immediately. All foreigners must immediately register themselves with the police. You are ALWAYS an outsider. ALWAYS. You are referred to as "gaijin", literally outsider/foreigner, often to your face. There are estblishments aplenty that literally have signs in the windows stating, "No Gaijin". One gets a taste of what black people in America got back in the first half of the 20th century.
I'm worried about the social credit nonsense taking off again. Some think that here in the West we are going to go cashless quicker than previously thought. I will hold out as long as possible. People have the right to buy and sell anonymously.
