- (General Dispatch) – China’s new social credit system will be the protagonist of qualifying people who aspire to board trains first; this system will qualify the person if they are fit to prioritize their trip taking into account their credit level and if they support the CCP.
- Citizens who do not meet the requirements will have to wait in line and ignore the authorities, unlike good citizens who will have full preference in the various transportation systems.
- The Chinese media Global Times stated that this measure would be very smart as it speeds up the movement of people to their destinations, this system will be applied in different stations of the Beijing subway.
- According to the CCP, Chinese citizens have not complained about the new “social credit” system, the only concern is about the security of their data.
- On the other hand, priority will be given to those people who do not carry excess baggage and can pass directly without going through security checks.
- People’s behavior will also be taken into account; if they do not comply with the rules applied by each means of transport will appear in the system, affecting their status in the system and the time of entry.
- In addition, there is another modality in the subway, which offers the option to enter in a faster way, they only have to make use of facial recognition, and not have a history of misconduct and frequent the means of transport.
- “The application will help travelers and facilitate the long lines to enter some subway stations. It is not an abuse of big data or the social credit system. At a time when China has yet to establish a perfect social credit system, pilot projects are encouraged.” the Global Times said.
