China's WeChat app tells users whether they are within a 500-meter radius of someone, who have the lowest social credit scores and are on the social credit blacklist.

It maps ppl near you with their social credit score, so you move away from undesirables & not lose your points.
It's called a "map of deadbeat debtors."Β 

It shows people if they're standing near someone in debt (to Chinese government, so they are blacklisted) β€” a part of its intrusive 'social credit' policy.
If you are on social credit blacklist, you become a ghost, a 'unperson' like in '1984', people are trying to get away from you like you have infectious disease.

Most Chinese townspeople are living in 15-Minute cities β€”β€” Gated Compounds.

China forces farmers off the land and incarcerated them in high rise 15-Minute cities.

So control is now easier.

30,000 families - 100,000 people living in this neighborhood, which has everything including schools, pharmacy, restaurants, barbershops...within 15 minutes walk.

If your vaccine passport expires or you are on the 'Social Credit Blacklist', when you try to leave the zone where you are registered to live in, immediately an alarm goes off.

Then police will quickly check on you why.
