Because they already have another system for social control: health code. From https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1010547/henan-bank-depositors-hit-with-red-health-codes https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1010547/henan-bank-depositors...
> At least 12 depositors Sixth Tone spoke with said their health code turned red when they scanned city-specific QR codes at railway stations, hotels, and other venues that required them.
