The conspiracy disinformation technique used here is 100% contributory towards our state of authoritian shit as well. The more you hate something that isn't real the less you care about the things that are

I think it does matter, given the amount of hysteria in the air about the pharma industry generally.

That's not to say it's not a worrying invention.
Fair point, but I didn't post it because it mentioned Pfizer. I posted it because I don't like the idea of the technology, a technology which even the fact checkers admit is real.

Amazing how many people don't realise this. Or choose to ignore it.

Angry bank customers who traveled to a city in central China to retrieve their savings from troubled rural banks have been stopped by a health app on their cellphone.

Chinese residents are required to have the health app, which displays a code indicating their health status, including possible exposure to COVID-19. A green code is required to use public transportation and to enter locations such as offices, restaurants and malls. But some depositors at the banks in central Henan province said their codes were turned red to stop them.

The incident has started a national debate on how a tool designed for public health was appropriated by political forces to tamp down controversy.

ah, through my drunken haze I can now see that Taiwan is brave enough to publish the story that has been circulating via weibo - my Taiwanese friend mentioned this to me the other week...

my friend was telling me that the regional Chinese banks were trying to tell its investors that they hadn't opened savings accounts, but instead they were "speculating"

The thing is the chinese lads (and expats) all bought into the digital life 100% and fed them the data that theyre using to do all this shit

They were all living off weibo/wechat on their phone 2015 times, i remember trying to pay cash in a couple of clubs and even back then they looked at you like a madman

All those digital firms were part government funded though so they had them. No chance of escaping the system when you have thrown yourself head first into it

Not sure about the surveillance. I used a burner out there in case i lost my phone but no doubt they knew where i was anyway. Or rather, could have found me if i mattered,

Impossible to verify all this unless you're there ofc but you would have to assume the 2/3 years of mad draconian rolling lockdowns under zero covid would start to test the patience of anyone

Mood must be really low in some places over there

On a semi-associated note from FT

...

Since the programme was first proposed in 2013 the value of China-led infrastructure projects and other transactions classified as “Belt and Road” in scores of developing countries had reached $838bn by the end of 2021, according to data collected by the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based think-tank.

But the loans that finance those projects are now turning bad in record numbers. According to data collected by Rhodium Group, a New York-based research group, the total value of loans from Chinese institutions that had to be renegotiated in 2020 and 2021 surged to $52bn. This was more than three times the $16bn of the previous two years.

This sharp deterioration brings the total of Chinese overseas loans to have come under renegotiation since 2001 to $118bn — or about 16 per cent of the total extended, Rhodium estimates.

from what my Taiwanese friend was saying it seems legit
This is why I don't really get the obsession with cash (or at least, severe aversion to cashless payment) found among limp_biscuits and his buddies. Banks issue cash, and they can decide to stop issuing it - or a government can order them to stop issuing it. And then you're not really any better off than you'd be if they blocked your cards.
