Nick and Claudia talk in regards to China’s new social credit system. This will judge people on how they can travel throughout their own country what banks will loan them. Basically the whole system starts out citizens with 1000 points. If you perform a good deed you can get more points and you are looked at as a good citizen. Not stopping at a stop sign or being rude to people can cause you to lose points. These are just a few examples of how this social credit system is going to come into play it will be fully running by 2020. This is a very new interesting concept but the idea was long proposed almost 100 years ago. This discussion will educate on key points and you tell us whether you think this is just more or less for more government control or to make people better citizens in their country and society. Either way this is going to happen.
