In this April 1, 2020, photo, a passenger holds up a green pass on their phone on a subway train in Wuhan in central China's Hubei province. Green is the "health code" that says a user is symptom-free and it’s required to board a subway, check into a hotel or just enter Wuhan, the central city of 11 million people where the pandemic began in December.
Walking into a Wuhan subway station Wednesday, Wu Shenghong, a manager for a clothing manufacturer, used her smartphone to scan a barcode on a poster that triggered her health code app. A green code and part of her identity card number appeared on the screen. A guard wearing a mask and goggles waved her through.
Intensive use of the health code is part of the efforts by authorities to revive China’s economy while preventing a spike in infections as workers stream back into factories, offices and shops. An attendant carried a banner reading “Please wear a mask throughout your trip. Do not get close to others. Scan the code before you get off the train.” Seats were marked with dots denoting where passengers were to sit to stay far enough away from each other.
A statement by the city government of Tianjin, a port city of 16 million people adjacent to Beijing, said the health codes were temporary but offered no indication when use might end.
joerogan you were literally just saying this
China is a blight on the world.
Mark of the beast in the making end times
total control after martial law is coming … forced vaccinations too?
This is a Black Mirror episode in real life!
ProfJNMoyo Dry runs for 666, mark of the beast
ProfJNMoyo Its monitored by your the gvt. Cameras give you scores points in first tier cities, for instance if you cross a red robot you lose points
ProfJNMoyo Why don't you ask us who live in China, The green qr code allows delivery people to enter complexes and people's homes to deliver essential goods. It can also indicate if you have come across people who have been diagnosed with corona. In China wherever you go , whatever you do ,
This is scarier than the virus.
AP once again pushes the FALSE narrative that China is PAST the virus. Only an brain washed idiot would believe the numbers China is reporting. Wake up world!
Jodipayneart I live in China, I don't have this app, I do have a piece of paper saying I'm negative, dated yesterday, but I wonder how long that would be good for! I just checked friends in Shanghai, Beijing, They don't have this either: perhaps its coming, or FakeNews?
Ok. FUCK.
They the nefarious treacherous CCP did it to their own people than forced upon the rest of the world.
Eventually the whole world will have such systems. I know here in the United States people like the conservative types will throw a fit and battle it, but the whole world is going to change. This is another 9/11 in the sense that it will change how we go about our everyday life.
No way to hack I’m sure
Maybe it's time to throw away the smartphones?
This is a never ending episode of Black Mirror.
Looks like a smart move by Chinese authorities! The cell phone should be identified as that of the holder and his photo a must!
Wow, if only the USA had strong Leadership from the President, we could have things like this too. Oh well, we'll just have to settle for a few hundred thousand deaths while the President brags about being 1 on Facebook and has the My Pillow guy up to address the country.
tracking the virus spread. As for health codes they could strictly be local , a notification that says you many have the virus that stares you isn the face should cause any sensible person to stay at home.
It may be possible to come up with a less intrusive version of this that could work in a democracy. the key would be to keep the identity anonymous, you don't need a person's info to track a virus just their general location this would still be useful to thee medical community
Coming soon to a western democracy near you.
not the best Black Mirror episode imo
You can buy green pass from Tao so
It's not 'post-virus'
Switch the red and green signal wires on my phone screen around. Got it. thnx.
Socialism with lipstick
China isn’t post-coronavirus, it just stopped reporting numbers. They started after they threw out American reporters.
Never gonna happen in the free world. Nope, nuh-uh, never. I will not give up my freedom for security. Force that upon me, and you'll have made one rebel.
Don’t lose your phone!
The Chinese govt poisons the world and then uses it to place even more restrictions on its people.
And where and who presses the button to inject virus?
ChinaLiesPeopleDie
If you believe any info from the CCP you're not a journalist
Symptom-free and virus-free are two different things. That’s why their numbers are so low. ChinaLiedPeopleDied
and this was where coronavirus started.
That's nice. We're not an Authoritarian Dictatorship.
