China's Social Credit System: It's both unique and part of a global trend.
China's Social Credit System is meant to improve society while denying citizens their Human Rights.
Imagine a world where everyone bins their trash, no one crosses a red light and everyone pays their taxes so that schools are always well funded. This sounds like a nice utopia. But add to this surveillance cameras, face recognition, and the requirement to always praise the government. Now it sounds like an Orwellian nightmare come true: the Chinese Social Credit System.
China's Social credit system
In 2020, the Chinese Social Credit System, which has been under development and testing since 2009, is intended to standardize the assessment of citizens' and businesses' economic and social reputation, or 'Social Credit'.
With this system, people and companies can be tracked and evaluated for their trustworthiness. The Chinese credit system is closely linked to China's surveillance system with facial recognition, big data analysis, and AI.
The Social Credit System is marketed by the Communist Party of China to its people as a great improvement to society as a whole. The aim is that people and companies become more honest, to fight corruption, and to have a better functioning and a more stable society overall.
The idea behind this is understandable: As social networks decline and anonymity in cities rises, the social pressure to behave in an acceptable way declines as well. China now replaces this social pressure with the Social Credit System so that people even when living anonymously in any city behave in an acceptable way.
