Communist China Unveils Most Orwellian Scheme Ever

In what may be one of the most Orwellian schemes ever concocted by the dictatorship, all 1.3 billion victims of Communist China’s mass-murdering regime will soon be given a “score” apparently measuring, among other attributes, their level of loyalty to the nation’s brutal overlords. The score will also showcase how “good” each “citizen” is so everyone can be punished or rewarded accordingly.

 

Under a regime-sanctioned prototype of the system known as “Sesame Credit,” the credit score-style number for each Chinese subject is reportedly to be compiled based on everything from analyses of social-media profiles and book-reading choices to the “Sesame Credit” scores of friends and acquaintances. The more you love your oppression and believe your rulers, the higher your score will be. The higher the score, the more benefits you get from the regime. Ultra-slavish subjects with no “thought crimes” on record can apparently even get visas to travel to the West, according to media reports.

 

Critics say the scheme has the potential to make Communist China’s ideological coercion and its silencing of dissent far easier than it already is — and already, dissidents are routinely tortured, disappeared, and even executed in barbaric fashion. Among other concerns, analysts said the ubiquitous data-gathering used to compute the scores, combined with the added social pressure to conform, could cause even more nervous would-be dissidents to keep quiet in the face of escalating tyranny.
