Dont look up the US military bases map

I'm glad China is the only dehumanizing and repugnant regime with this kind of policy. I was worried the past century had been real. waking up from this nightmare is gonna kick so much ass.

all cops and those who employ/use them should be turned into cat treats.

Who allows the regime to punish the trafficked people? Who enforces the punishment? Who allows a regime to respond to any situation with force?

Cops, and they are all unrepentant shitbags who do not deserve a place in society.

This is not about cops but about a deeply troubling Chinese policy that leaves authorities more concerned about the public image than to solve an issue. As one commenter wrote, “Those who are punished are often not the traffickers, but the people who expose human trafficking."

It's a dehumanizing and repugnant regime.

All cops are shitbags who do not deserve a place in society.

Your own article’s headline ends with a question mark

That's an editorial statement of ambiguity. It is not a fact about the world.

It basically says that China’s social credit system may evolve over time

Yes, of course it will. All systems will. The fact however, is that social credit for individual citizens was an experiment at the local level and the national government ended it. Meaning there is no social credit system for citizens in China at this time, a fact about the world, which your article conveniently omits.

It says the system may move ahead with the long-delayed “Law on the Establishment of the Social Credit System” or continue working on points incentives for citizens.

Yes. It might also mandate that all ice cream shops standardize on a single customer loyalty program. When you live in the sinophobic world of editorializing, anything is possible. But that's not news and it's not reality. It's just sinophobic propagandists dreaming about how evil those asiatics can be.

The Chinese government did not cancel this system.

It literally did. https://merics.org/en/comment/chinas-social-credit-score-untangling-myth-reality

There is ample evidence for its existence, even from within China, Your own linked article is prove for that.

No, Hotz. It does not. The Social Credit System does, in fact, exist. It just does not do what you claim it does. Unlike the credit scoring system in the US, where every single person is assigned a numeric score that ranks how safe and profitable it is to lend to you, in China, the Social Credit Score system is a way to rank BUSINESSES, much like the BBB score system in the US. It was never designed to monitor citizens and it was never design to assign citizens a score.

Local governments attempted to modify the national system of business ranking and apply it to citizens. A few local governments did that for about 3 years, and then the national government stepped in and stopped them, because it was a horrible failure of justice, of privacy, and didn't make anything better, only making things worse.

More importantly, the scholars who wrote the report cited in my linked article are all Chinese, live in China, and, therefore, know the system as they must live with it every day, whether they want it or not.

Yes, the report by Lin Jianxing is talking about the real actual Social Credit System, the one that isn't applied to individual citizens. Liam Anderson, the author of the article, pretends to be reporting on just historical facts:

When the social credit initiative first gained traction years ago, its stated goals sounded straightforward. Officials designed it to build market trust, crack down on corporate fraud, and help banks assess default risks for loans. Think of it as a corporate and financial reliability index, meant to keep bad actors out of public contracts and penalize contract breakers.

What Liam fails to mention here is that it was EXCLUSIVELY for businesses and not for citizens.

He then goes on to say:

Over time, things shifted. Local governments began testing personal credit metrics that tracked minor infractions on public transit, school attendance, and everyday civic habits.

This is true, but Liam fails to say that it was a small number of local governments and that the national government stopped them after only a few years.

So Liam leaves the reader with the false impression that Lin Jianxing is writing about the potential abuses of a Social Credit System that monitors individual citizens for "minor infractions on public transit". It does not, and Lin Jianxing's report does not state that it does.

Lin's report is a warning to the party not to attempt to implement tracking of private citizens. It is not an indictment of existing efforts to track individual citizens, because the Social Credit System does not actually do that and Lin Jianxing knows that it does not do that.

The propaganda is all by you here.

Hotz falling for regurgitating propaganda again

The article you posted attempts to sound reasonable by stating that it was local governments that started scoring citizens, which is true. The problem is that the national government stepped in and cancelled all of those projects, and your article doesn't mention that at all. Here's an article that explains more of the reality.

https://www.thechinastory.org/is-chinas-social-credit-system-as-we-know-it-dead/

The article you posted is classic "lie by ommission" propaganda

We gotta stop this from happening. Its a nightmare.

What is a good source to inform yourself if the China-appointed so-called 'Tibetan leader' presides over a symposium on promoting ‘ethnic unity’ in Tibet?

This N.E.D. funded propaganda.

But is it riskier than getting ICEd in the USA

They arrested my mom over a free Tibet sticker on her car back in the states. I don't even know how they knew about it. Either way, they let her and her party go after a few days, seemed like a "scare you straight" thing, they were in their early 20s.

Ever since they arrested some random Canadians because Canada arrested a Chinese criminal I haven't had the want to go there ever again. I'd love to see the great wall, but I can do with photos

Fuck the Chinese government

Yes. And this has been known for a while even though travel to China is being normalised in the west.

This is great to see. I looked to the entire cast a month ago just so I know which people to hate on now.

That Shaun of the dead "friend" stood out to me as a shock. What a little bitch he is.

A particularly ironic factoid is JK Rowling was told by her publisher to use JK in her pen name because women’s first names don’t sell as well.

I didn't know that about her pen name. But holy fuck that man was repulsive. I was reading about him and feel a little ill.

Holy shit, I nearly spit out my coffee.

So, even when it's subhuman trash like Rowling, and even given all the egg shit she's said over the years, it's still not cool to deliberately misgender someone with the intent of denigrating them. Even that scag. Make fun of her for being a thin skinned mold riddled bigot instead.

He likes to be known as Robert Galbraith, so we shouldn't deadname him. We should also remember that the namesake was the man who invented Conversion Therapy, and was just a thoroughly awful man.

Jake Rowling? Never heard of him.

I hope she turns inside out slowly.

As an addition: In October 2025, the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR) published a report that shows how, for the first time in history, a small group of States led by China and Russia are obstructing and hijacking budget negotiations at the United Nations (UN) to defund human rights bodies and investigations.

ISHR’s report ‘Budget Battles at the UN: How States Try to Defund Human Rights’ (pdf) finds that China and Russia - fueled by the failure of the United States (US) - have led a sustained effort to build influence, disrupt proceedings, and politicise technical discussions at the UN General Assembly’s Fifth Committee (5C), where States negotiate the UN’s budget,

As the report shows in detail, Chinese influence within these bodies has expanded sharply over the years. Beijing has invested heavily in building its representation at the 5C, the ACABQ and other related bodies to push heavy budget cuts to human rights. Russia has frequently played the role of outspoken spoiler in negotiations, enabling China to deploy its influence more quietly but effectively behind closed doors.

‘Russian and Chinese diplomats have weaponised UN budget negotiations to serve their own interests and shield allies from scrutiny, at the expense of human rights. Budget negotiations should be solely guided by the goal of adequately funding the UN’s work, not serving as a political tool to weaken accountability and rights protection,' says Madeleine Sinclair, Director of ISHR’s New York office.
