China Is Set to Implement a System of Ranking Its Citizens

The government also says the SCS will "allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step."

China’s government will implement a nationwide ranking system of its population by 2020. If this idea of a personal rating seems a little familiar perhaps you have seen the dystopic Netflix series, Black Mirror.

It works by giving each citizen a score based on their daily interactions and financial decisions, the score can be affected by debt, spending habits and even social interactions. Obviously, to get this kind of score that will be somewhat compared to a person’s trustworthiness, there will need to be a huge amount of individual monitoring and data collection. The SCS is expected to be rolled out in 2020, but there will be a large scale trial period from now until then so the system can be at optimal functionality when it goes live on its 1.3 billion citizens.
