Making Health Code Permanent: Authorities' Plan to Mass Surveillance and CCP's Goal to Control

Part 2/2

Introducing a nation-wide Health Code is not only a public opinion issue, but also a technical necessity in view of system compatibility.

Health Code in China is separately managed by Tencent’s WeChat and Alibaba’s Alipay. If Hong Kong government declares that Hong Kong citizens’ personal data will not be transferred to Beijing, shouldn’t it first ensure the Health Code in Hong Kong will not be managed by Tencent and Alibaba?

However, it happened that, Alibaba owner Jack Ma is a major shareholder of Prenetics, the Chinese company appointed by Hong Kong government to carry out Coronavirus nucleic acid test in Hong Kong. If Hong Kong government stresses that the Health Code in Hong Kong and China are "incompatible", isn’t it not like finding enemy with the Central policy.

Imagine any person who refuses to be inspected by Beijing Genomics Institute (#BGI) will be denied to dine out at restaurants in evenings: Knowing Hong Kong people, many of them may even line up to obtain this AI-powered collar. Besides, having a check-point at every district is an important step towards popularizing the Health Code, followed by a “Caste system” as Huang Zhou citizens called it, which would exploit the exclusion psychology among people and induce social stratification. Finally, peopld would strive to become an "upper caste".

In China, Alipay has long been training consumers to scan QR codes and use facial recognition to log-in. These are actually parts of the behavioral domestication engineering projects. The two-dimensional coding system on the gates of Shenzhen subway train is said to link with Health Code. Passengers who have become used to the “scanning-before-boarding” mechanism are, meanwhile, revealing all footprints of their social life to the authorities.

In other words, “tracking the virus spread” is merely a gateway for the Chinese Communist Party to attain their actual aim to “track every citizen real-time”.

In addition, the biggest fallacy of the Health Code system is the assumption that everybody is sick, so that they would need to prove that they are healthy. Otherwise, they may risk becoming the public bads and losing their personal freedom. While Beijing would have successfully made Hong Kong people rat out each other, many would be willing to act as the "health police" of the totalitarian regime to identify those who refuse to comply with the rule, hence assisting the implementation of the Social Credit System to its perfection.
