Holy shit! This is straight up a scene from Black Mirror! China really is being serious about their technology up there, aren't they? I just hope they won't take this worldwide because it won't be good for everyone. I mean, would you be okay if someone bans you from traveling just because you have a bad "social credit" ratings? That's ridiculous!
