Wu Fei (yesterday's post) refused to say whether he trusts the government to use his company's technology. How could he go on record with anything but a canned approval of the government? Who would dare to dissent from Pres. Xi on anything?
The fear, of course, it that the government may use this social credit scoring system to punish people that it deems not sufficiently loyal to the communist party . . And trying to clear your name or fight your score is nearly impossible, because there’s no due process.
"In early 2017, the country’s Supreme People’s Court said during a press conference that 6.15 million Chinese citizens had been banned from taking flights for social misdeeds."
President Xi and his government are now going to watch and judge over a billion Chinese. In his words, "Once untrustworthy, always restricted."
