So glad to hear someone express this point of view. Back when the social credit stuff was in the news a lot I found myself in a weird place because my experience in China and talking to Chinese people didn't reflect what was being written about and what people were reading back home.
Also I talked to a guy whose wife is from HK. They monitor the situation quite closely. He said, you have to get the death jab to go inside *any* building now *all over China*.
So you cannot buy groceries now if unjabbed. People try to come around by buying on open markets.
I go back and forth with this wondering how much of it is real or bluff. Right now it all feels so inevitable in the wrong way. Maybe it's not?

Man, this fact check is quite astonishing. Until now I was a supporter of the "evil China" thought school. Now I'm not so sure anymore...
Seems I've some research to do.
A few months ago, Brian Berletic at the New Atlas did a podcast about this. It can be viewed here:

What are your experiences with that?
