and 10 to one of the you can see from the chinese people's mental state their eyes are blinded and their ears are blocked what are these are your only child they know little about the world and live in an illusion to hundreds even the 20. first. i've come to chongqing city a high tech metropolis in central china where the jailing river meets the yanks and i'm here to meet one of the 10000000 people who've seen the dark side of the source . credit system investigative journalist leo who. with his street smart hands on approach who has exposed high level corruption and solved murder

cases abandoned by the police in many countries he'd be celebrated not in china where there are no tone from our time the government regards me as an enemy of mine the mainstream media is like a propaganda machine for the party. when their main duty is to indoctrinate people and keep them from knowing the facts. in my view if someone wants to prevent corruption being revealed then they're corrupt too and if haven't actually one. in 2015 who lost a defamation case after you cues to an official of extortion. he was made to publish an apology and pay a fine but when the court demanded an additional fee who refused then in $27.00 saying he found himself suddenly locked out of society under a pilot social credit scheme he'd been blacklisted as dishonest.

i have friends who are lawyers and judges they told me that these so-called dishonest personnel are people and i don't owe any money so i shouldn't be on the blacklist. were one who had found them in the man who maintains he has fully met the terms of use 2015 case he believes he's blacklisting is political but he has no way of challenging it. i think there are a lot of people who are on the blacklist wrongly and troll would've been on the machine but they can't get off and. how many are bad. these poor social credit writing has shut down his travel options and can find him to effect of house arrest in china. chain. question is. right now my ability to travel is limited to think how i can't book high speed trains or flights we're going to show you only

one thing we use this app to book tickets say from chongqing to see on the show and . let's try to book a ticket for the next few days how. was he going to go and what is it scientology is using it says an email to make a booking for where you can be my access to high speed rail is legally restricted to our teens and how each will. whose social media accounts have also been closed before his arrest he had nearly 2000000 followers it's where he published much of use journalism or had more than 10 waiver accounts now they're all gullible how to handle me this is the newest one good thing as it got blocked recently to get to hush me up. who's great spy writing for an online publication is best to get of reports are on hold. it's not his

1st run in with censorship in august 23rd saying he was detained without trial after exposing a senior party members links with a legal prostitution this is a ray creation based on whose accounts way your behavior is defamation of do you admit it. if you admit guilt the leader will be happy and set you free by far. over the course of a year he was interrogated more than 70 times. now compare what they threaten me saying that i must cooperate and if i didn't i'd lose my job and even my wife and children you know alcohol and pot. who refused to confess and was eventually released. now he's trapped again the 4 walls of

a cell replaced by social credits dragnet. tinchy it's been 5 years since i was released. big changes have taken place in the media industry and i'm thinking high on. the record a lot of people have left the industry especially journalists doing investigative reports as you hunted through but i still love this work and i want to continue to be a journalist here and horses here when i want to keep on reporting as much as possible . and once he had room. i'm going to a place where the principles of social credit have been taken to brutally strain the party doesn't want the world to know about its reporting on the situation is risky. to get there we must fly 4000 kilometers from beijing to the

western edge of china. jet the nation's largest province and according to some of the world's largest open prison. in junk is the homeland of the weak it's turkey people obviously fake. china's rulers have struggled to control the region and its people for 2 millenia. surveillance technology is the new weapon in their campaign. ah ah ah ah ah. all systems. the surveillance system is suddenly ramped up after the end of 2060. since then advanced surveillance technology which we've never seen or experienced or heard of started to appear. on

peddled tot he hama it is a way good filmmaker and poet from the shin jang city of cashcard he can talk about the situation there because he managed to escape with his family to the u.s. where they've applied for political asylum. who made the decision to flee last year . we got a phone call from the police station instructing us to come by. but we were taken to the basement. so i spoke about there were manacles and shackles hanging in the cells and iron chairs called the tiger chairs and the criminals are strapped in mind doesn't it like. the last we went inside and there were about 20 to 30 people there but we were all we welcomed. and just want to go look we're going to kentucky you don't get a bit shaken but i'm as we look along but in that end. when it was our turn they

drew blood from my wife and me congo next they took our voice samples. of our fingerprints were taken. and pushing the. british to fingerprinting they began their facial analysis on the. condemned as they started recording and we look straight at the camera. but i must get up then going up to the right on the can and bank. of america and then back. along come back again i look down. ready here and he's wife was being scanned by facial recognition software the faces match from all angles to enhance accuracy. even forced to produce a range of facial expression. this

controlling surveillance system is specifically targeting wiggers. but. i don't but really isn't it as people like us count as one of the minorities in china and ethnic culture is always the 1st target for political oppression. but in georgian channeled. inside cash it's almost impossible to report independently government officials do their best to conceal any sign of the oppression so he describes look closer and the cracks appear the party of prevision of the city is a facade cashcard historic old town has been demolished in just one section rebuilt as a sort of we get theme park the chinese tourists. you

can buy souvenirs try the local cuisine. and even see you sean. there's to. be a demand. the same time every time but this tension in the year. the michaels can speak with us. armed guards and cameras keep a watchful eye and chinese flags climb the rooftops even the dying of the mosque. so it's quite difficult but the film here we've got about 6 mind is with this stuff all the time of it telling us what we can fill the time to sometimes they delayed now material on top of that we've got about another 8 to 10 security guards that further restrict our movements what i can tell you from the car is that though

they're set up in a kind of grid like management system in a very 100 meters or so busy you see a police station and then aided with a normas amounts of c.c.t.v. cameras with facial recognition to really have a total control busy here. what is clearly said there is quite a brutal repressive crackdown going on here and technology is at the center of it. she jogs take on social credit is simple and ruthless. citizens here and not given a school instead they're divided into just 3 can agree is trustworthy average untrustworthy. if you're han chinese you're doing trustworthy and granted freedom of movement. but if you're where you got your average with restrictions imposed on travel and religious practices if you're a weak a mile who breaks those restrictions you'll marked as untrustworthy and

detained in what the party calls education and training centers. talkie how much has another name for them. it was like a much better night of. the concentration camps are very congested and overpopulated with detainee. they have to study political propaganda 12 hours a day on. shit on sheer terms food and drinking water and living conditions are very poor like a little. many people are getting sick in the camps. when we were still living back home we started to hear that some people were even dying there. in august this year the un announced it had seen credible reports there over a 1000000 we give a currently held without charging camps in chief john purely because of their

ethnicity the chinese government rejects that klein insisting it only did tines convicted terrorists. his personal experience tells a different story when she and john authorities discovered he had fled to america his brother and 2 brothers in law disappear. mass it's impossible to communicate with them. they're in the concentration cos. even contacting their families their wives is impossible no. we can't tell him it was true we can. but if we do the police will know immediately and then on the others will be taken to the camps as well as their. back in cianci journalist who worries for his family to blacklisting on

social credit has cast a shadow on those closest to hear. shots yan who. is an old journalist calling. for you it's us or them watching it's a war and nation i'm not on the black lace yet if i do end up on it it seems it would be like the system of collective punishment in the feudal times where if one person breaks the law all associated people are also punished nancy i can enjoy if that happens it's not social credit it's political extremism. and some. like talking who is risking the welfare of his friends and family to alert the world to china's experiment in high tech social engineering he says people don't fully comprehend what's to come a digital totalitarian state where algorithms decide your fate and nothing can be

questioned or the question that i think it's wrong that our this kind of social control goes against the tide of the world. we always say we should learn from the good aspects of western countries. but when it comes to limiting the government's power we don't learn anything was rima too frequently asked whether on your show mention. it at reagan was some call for a ball that you call china has the largest population in the world where this is very different from western countries from 0. point 20 can have all the happiest thing for me is to see my children live a happy and healthy life can hold so i hope my son can do what he wants to and gets a good education and lives

a harmonious life. to me that's the most important thing is the object model example. friend dan dan and husbands shall jinx high social credits and give their son ribeiro a running start the provisions in protections of the party will be bestowed upon him so long as mom and dad keep the credits off they always have a pad soldier in a position to befall though the new system isn't your perfect china likes to experiment on his creative way trying continuously make improvements to suit our society lunch about how did not come how. i see a positive future for him i hope that this new system will bring good things to the chinese people at that shortly.
