The limit on Government Power in China: Or is there any?

[Bussard Ramjet]

The Government has started building a system of credit scores, which will also depend on your political views.

I find it truly Orwellian.

There is very necessary for there to be checks and balances against the Government.

Now obviously this is a western source. I would like to hear from you people, and correct the piece if it is trying to distort.

The Han Chinese don't care. Their political views are represented by the government.

The Tibetans and Uighurs are probably disadvantaged if they are outspoken, but it's their choice.

If you find it Orwellian then wait a few decades. China is clearly more liberal today than in the past. The trend will continue, because all societies that became wealthier tend to become more liberal over time.

If the credit score can affect citizen's living - buying a house with lower interest rate, much more easier to apply for credit card, higher reputation - people will really start to care about and obey the social rules, so we can build a real "civilized and law" society. I heard they say administrative penalty or neglect of red light when crossing the street will also have effect on credit socre. I strongly support it since it's a lot easier for us to examine clients' real credit history rather than bogus materials.

Never heard about it in China, sounds like a joke made by western media about China like they always do in the past.

The gov do what they need to do,rlease some limit openly.Of course we know that the gov right is too unlimited in china.Now it is time for balance the civil rights and gov power.The balance is vital but not easily to achieve.

How did I ignore you?

Also, the issue is not of today. Any Government, especially with incredible power over everything, can become corrupt, inefficient, and abuse power.

Hence checks and balances are very important.

I would say Chinese government system is better than India's. Chinese culture asks for discipline, be it for China, Taiwan or Singapore.

After further development(like being a developed country) maybe some changes may come.
But,of course,it's impossible now..

Guys it's Sesame Credit the Western media is talking about. lol.

In China, credit score is now affected by friends' activism

This Chinese credit score, which seemed innocent at first, was introduced this summer. More precisely, it was introduced by Alibaba and Tencent, China’s IT giants who run the Chinese equivalents of all social networks, and who therefore have any and all data about you. People can download an app named “Sesame Credit” from the Alibaba network, and the score has become something of a bragging contest, being interpreted as a kind of “citizen status” – and not entirely falsely so. Almost 100,000 people have posted their “status” online on Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter.

Sesame Credit!!! Be aware!!!
