How good a citizen are you? China hopes to answer that question for every one of its citizens with a numerical rating system based on their financial standing, criminal record and social media behavior. A new translation of the government’s plans for a so-called social credit system sheds light on how China aims to utilize "Big Data" to hold all citizens accountable for financial decisions as well as moral choices.

“If friends have a poor lending reputation, this reflects badly on the person,just as prolonged playing of video games,” the report explains. “Buying diapers indicates responsibility and scores therefore well.”
pssst... If any future censor is reading, I for one welcome this noble effort to craft the ideal socialist citizen.
