China launches an app that tells you if you are within 500 yards of someone in debt - and encourages you to report them if they seem capable of paying

Kinda difficult to be sentimental towards a country who has a completely different ideology than the West. 

Not to mention a human rights record that would make Stalin and Hitler vomit.

 

 

Nothing against the Chinese people, but their government should receive absolutely no respect. From anyone. Anywhere. Ever.

China implementing that socialism totalitarianism in full force, china is going to become a really bad dystopia, it already is one and getting worse very fast, im worried other countries might follow, because they are dumb enough to do so.

Forgive me if I’ve misinterpreted what you’ve written; this is only if you meant the anti-Chinese sentiment as a whole, buthow does this alone justify anti-Chinese sentiment? Sure, it’s different but if we were to attack things only because their different I doubt humans would get very far.

How about pay your debt back and not spend more than you can.  It’s if you have credit card debt but buying iPhones etc what r u doing. It’s a pretty common ideology, most banks worldwide recommend it.

Way to go China.

Well, despite being kinda wtf, im I kinda like the Chinese system, without it the country would still be a clusterfuck. The only real question regarding China is whats gonna happen when Winnie dies/decides that he is tired. USSR showed that the ingrates in power will literally sell off every scrap of their future in order to solidify their current grasp on the power and discredit their predescesors. I hope 4k years of culture will save China from this shit, but i highly doubt that

The current regime wants that culture erased, and they've made some progress towards that goal.

It's more "anti Chinese government" than anti Chinese. Don't conflate the two.

 

I've nothing against the Chinese people, I just wish they would wake up and tear down that ridiculous excuse for a government they've got.

Would be easier to report people not in debt in the West.

Totalitarian dystopia shithole much?

[LienusLateTips]

Ah.... the benefits of living in HK, Macau, or Taiwan. Not being subjected to this nightmare but still knowing how to cook good Chinese food and communicate with Mainlanders.

[aaradorn]

I dont know how to feel about this, in one hand I approve of this, if you can pay you should pay, on the other hand I hate the lack of privacy.

[DrMacintosh]

Imagine if we implemented this in State Colleges around the United States? The only ones not in debt would be the professors! Lol.
