They are just a US military base against China.

How reassuring… Donald Dump on one side, and social credit surveillance state on the other…

You trust the current generation of western politicians enough to create a social credit system in the west!?
I'm not saying it will be used for good, they will outsource it to their friends in the private sector anyway. It already exists for credit.
Iirc they even check you facebook friends, so you can get a better score by unfriending poor ones
It already exists for credit, so we should accept it expanding into other aspects of our lives? You know we will be the ones with the low scores, right? We will be the ones who will be denied jobs, be restricted in how and where we can travel, etc.
Why would they need social credit? They already have xkeyscore and parallel construction. The west has had a high-tech panopticon surveillance state long before China did lol.
