Beijing to Experiment With Points Rating System for Its Citizens

It looks like the the Chinese are trying to find a way to blacklist certain citizens:

China’s plan to judge each of its 1.3 billion people based on their social behavior is moving a step closer to reality, with Beijing set to adopt a lifelong points program by 2021 that assigns personalized ratings for each resident.

The capital city will pool data from several departments to reward and punish some 22 million citizens based on their actions and reputations by the end of 2020, according to a plan posted on the Beijing municipal government’s website on Monday. Those with better so-called social credit will get “green channel” benefits while those who violate laws will find life more difficult.

The Beijing project will improve blacklist systems so that those deemed untrustworthy will be “unable to move even a single step,” according to the government’s plan. Xinhua reported on the proposal Tuesday, while the report posted on the municipal government’s website is dated July 18.  [Bloomberg]

You can read more at the link, but for those that have served in the US Army they are familiar with Officer Record Briefs (ORB) and Enlisted Record Briefs (ERB).  These documents record a Soldiers schools, promotions, awards, deployments, etc. so someone can have a one sheet snapshot of that person.  Unlike an ERB and ORB it appears the Chinese are trying to take this a step further by awarding points for what is recorded on each of their citizens.

I am sure that anyone that disagrees with the government on anything will soon find their points drastically reduced denying them benefits.
