So there was a news about that China wants to implement a rating system to its citizens. Probably using Weibo or some app, you can rate someone. People with high ratings get benefits, such as queue priority in hospitals, etc. This idea was also shown in one of Black Mirror series.
This rating system is actually already used by other countries for their facilities and I've seen one during my visit on Singapore. You can rate the comfort room's attendant or even the person who processes your passport at the immigration.
What could be the effects to our lives if this gets implemented? Sounds good for getting when you are positively rated but what if you made a mistake and your rating becomes negative. Suddenly it feels like you are in an RPG world where your alignment stat determines how others will treat you.
