Hangzhou and more than three dozen local governments throughout China are piloting a "social credit system" to track individual behavior and assign ratings to citizens. The programme, which is targetted to roll out by 2020 and encompass all 1.4 billion citizens as well as foreign residents, has been quietly underway since 2015. It will be a digital reboot of the methods of social control and be a compilation of digital records of social and financial behavior to rate creditworthiness. The social credit system will affect daily lives including securing loans, jobs and children's school admission. A person can incur black marks for infractions such as fare cheating, jaywalking,not being filial to one’s parents and violating family-planning rules. Beijing expects to also draw on bigger, combined data pools, including a person’s internet activity. Algorithms would use a range of data to calculate a citizen’s rating, which would then be used to determine all manner of activities, such as who gets loans, or faster treatment at government offices or access to luxury hotels. Jaywalking, spitting on sidewalks, disputes with landlords, tourists behaving badly etc will all  attract negative points. A blueprint published in 2014 by the State Council stated it aimed to “build sincerity” in economic, social and political activity.  The national social-credit system’s aim, according to a slogan repeated in planning documents, is to “allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step.”
