Experts: China’s social-credit scheme to go worldwide:

The “social credit” system uses computers, algorithms, hundreds of thousands of spy cameras operating around the nation and more to assign to every person “a constantly updated score based on observed behaviors.”
It is intended, Chang explains, to control the entirety of the Chinese population by handing to the Communist Party virtually every detail of individuals’ lives and the power to grant rewards or impose punishments.
For example, officials prevented journalist Liu Hu from taking a flight because he had a low score, Chang noted.
