In China, all citizens are required to have biometric digital IDs—linked to the country's vast AI-powered surveillance grid, which includes hundreds of millions of facial recognition cameras.
Even the most trivial aspects of daily life—including boarding a train or using a vending machine—require biometric identity verification.
Citizens with low social credit scores are algorithmically restricted from travelling, accessing financial services, enrolling their children in certain schools, or even purchasing basic goods and services.
This is the kind of world the West is sleepwalking into if mandatory digital ID is ever allowed to get off the ground.
