China’s dictatorship is moving quickly to implement social scorecards, in which all citizens will be monitored 24/7 and ranked on their behavior.

An active pilot program has already seen millions of people each assigned a score and either reaping its benefits or suffering its consequences — depending on which end of the scale they sit.

The Communist Party’s plan is for every one of its 1.4 billion citizens to be at the whim of this dystopian social credit monitoring system, and it’s on track to be fully operational across its society by the year 2020.

Under the social credit scheme, points are lost and gained based on readings from a sophisticated network of 200 million surveillance cameras — a figure set to triple in 18 months. The program has been enabled by rapid advances in facial recognition, body scanning and geo-tracking.

The data is combined with information collected from individuals’ government records — including medical and educational — along with their financial and internet browsing histories. Overall scores can go up and down in “real time” dependant on the person’s behaviour but they can also be affected by people they associate with.

Under the system, those deemed to be “top citizens” are rewarded bonus points, and the benefits of being ranked on the higher end of the scale include waived deposits on hotels and rental cars, VIP treatment at airports, discounted loans, priority job applications and fast-tracking to the most prestigious universities.

But it doesn’t take much to end up on the wrong side of the scale with an estimated 10 million people who are already paying the price of a low rating. Punishable offences include spending too long playing video games, wasting money on frivolous purchases, posting on social media, jaywalking, late payments on bills or taxes, buying too much alcohol, or speaking out against the government, with each costing citizens points and lowering their score.

Penalties range from losing the right to travel by plane or train, being barred from jobs or certain housing, barred from enrolling in education, and social media account suspensions.

This kind of social control system is pointing directly to the Revelation prophecy where in the future a world government will monitor and control its citizens enforcing their absolute compliance with the government.
