into her score as well as state security
00:05:44
assessments their shopping habits will
00:05:47
be another measure
00:05:53
the score could even change in real time

her financial rating via a mobile
00:06:27
payment app so this is sesame credit
00:06:31
right so what's the score that you have
00:06:33
to versus and so industry 773 so what's
00:06:38
the maximum you can get thank you so 800
00:06:40
so you got a pretty good score oh wow I
00:06:43
think I'm doing well not the best but uh
00:06:46
yeah if I were on top
00:06:49
7/7 right so what kind of access or what
00:06:52
kind of privileges does that give you
00:06:54
this is like full rent cars I don't have
00:06:58
to pay deposit so you don't have to pay

look closer and the cracks appear the

party approved vision of this city is a

facade cash cars historic old town has
00:19:20
been demolished in just one section
00:19:23
rebuilt as a sort of Weger theme park
00:19:26
for Chinese tourists you can buy
00:19:33
souvenirs try the local cuisine and even
00:19:39
see a show but this tension in the air
00:19:57
the locals can't speak with us armed
00:20:01
guards and cameras keep a watchful eye
00:20:04
and Chinese flags claim the rooftops
00:20:07
even the Dome of the mosque
00:20:11
so it's quite difficult to film here
00:20:13
we've got about six mine is with this
00:20:15
the whole time they're telling us what
00:20:17
we can film what we can't do sometimes
00:20:20
they delete now material on top of that
00:20:22
we've got about another eight to ten
00:20:24
security guards that further restricted
00:20:27
our movements what I can tell you from
00:20:29
the car is that though they've set up a
00:20:31
kind of grid like management system and
00:20:33
every hundred meters or so you see a
00:20:35
police station and they're aided with
00:20:37
enormous amounts of CCTV cameras with
00:20:41
facial recognition to really have a
00:20:44
total control here what is clear is that
00:20:48
there is quite a brutal repressive
00:20:50
crackdown going on here and technology
00:20:53
is at the center of it Shin Jung's take
00:20:57
on Social Credit is simple and ruthless
00:21:01
citizens here are not given a score
00:21:04
instead they're divided into just three
00:21:07
categories trustworthy average
00:21:11
untrustworthy if you're han chinese
00:21:14
you're deemed trustworthy and granted

freedom of movement but if you're Weger
00:21:21
your average with restrictions imposed

on travel and religious practices if
00:21:28
you're a weak a male who breaks those
