It's a fundamental issue of the kind of people who will do whatever it takes to have power over others. You meet plenty of people like this that work in corporations stepping on others and backstabbing to get promoted or get that raise.
- varispeed 6y agoExactly this - Chinese people are not fundamentally different from us. We have more or less the same desires or worries and the same type of people usually come to power. Politicians of all sides always wanted to exert a degree of control over the society and today's technology finally can make it happen. There is no way they'll pass on such opportunity. It is taking small steps - they start with the control of money - the equivalents of IRS have live access to individuals and corporation bank accounts. Then you have promotion of cashless society. Once they'll get control over your means to eat, they'll take on controlling behaviours. It's going downhill.
