I'm glad China does this so we can see real world examples of why we don't fuck with freedom. This will implode eventually just like our money driven political system bullshit in America.
If one were to apply the same sort of simplistic argument in the China case, they have as much freedom as anyone else has.
IMO we would also be fools if we don't think there is a scoring system to help sort the millions of Americans with profiles in the American intelligence apparatus.
This is our brave new world.
