If someone tried to set something like that up here, people would probably respond sarcastically with images like this:

Oh god, what if other countries wind up creating their own versions of that?  I would say no one in their right mind would try that, but several things have shown the government doesn't really think rationally.
Already there, just less explicitly. Having a criminal record in a Western country affects one's career, as does an illegitimate academic degree, as does a poor credit rating, and so on. I'm not saying this is in any way a good thing, but calling China out for the idea itself, rather than how it's going to be used, seems hypocritical to me.

But yes, it's totally going to be used to cement the government's position. And that's terrible.

Me: Oh hey there's a couple of episodes of YuruYuri to catch up on
Yuri: *intensifying*
Dad: Oh hey what're you watching
Me: *considers the pros and cons of tabbing out and pretending it was porn*
Cat: *knocks over some crockery in the kitchen*
Mum: AAAAIIIIIEEEEE
Dad: DON'T WORRY I'LL SAVE YOU
Me: *gives cat many pats in gratitude*

Cats are the best, I've always said.

I was on the computer once and my granpapa walked up.
Papa: "... Heh, those men are naked!"
Me: *hidden panic* "... Wow, I guess so, I didn't notice."
Papa: "Heh!" *leaves, honestly amused*

I miss you granpapa, you were great.

Welp, I have successfully parked a car that lost its wheel while going 60mph, and didnt even explode or flip around! That was fun.

They just want to upgrade it to an omega license for your driving skills. I can't even manage to not take up 9.4 parking spaces with my Jeep with all 4 wheels.

Actually it's my father's Jeep, so I don't even have that. But worry not. I am equally bad at parking all vehicles.

On a totally unrelated note, I've only had my license a couple of weeks if that and everything is about to get icy. And I have to drive to work late at night and back home early morning.

This post just freaked me out with its vitriol level...

I mean, seriously, I'm actually a bit scared right now.

Well, it's that bad. Up until now I've made it a point of pride not to talk badly about her, despite all that's happened - and I was on my way out, I was on the tail end of the whole thing... So yeah, fuck her with something hard and sandpapery that's been wrapped in several layers of barbed wire.
