> Beijing showed the way. We followed their path.

lol, just like China invented social credit scores which are for social control and definitely not like US credit scores which are just good business sense

Edit: to be clear I am saying this from a US centric viewpoint. China is catching up but they’ve been behind us for over a century tech wise and the US has been really good at pioneering new forms of injustice. I’m laughing at the idea that we were trailing behind them on learning new for handling their population
