       This article is the black mirror episode in real life. From the article China was on pace to launch their project that ranks all 1.4 billion people during real time. In China there are over 200 million AI million cameras which the plan to triple over the next couple of years. Like black mirror bad actions get your credit score knocked down and interactions with the government gets your score boosted. The episodes high score is out of 5 this one is out of 800. If you do community service and buy Chinese products your score rises faster. Like the show the highest rated people get special benefits that the lower number people don't.  They get better treatment at airports, discounted loans, waived deposits on hotels, and car rentals. The same thing is true in Black mirror. Fraud and smoking in restricted areas drop the ratings the fastest. Also buying alcohol and video games drop your ratings because the government doesn't approve of those purchases. If your score is too low you don't get the high speed internet and your kids has to be sent to the lower leveled schools.
