How should we understand the formation of the grid management system (网格化管理) of grass-roots governance in China? In this article, I argue that the grid system is an extension of existing governance structures. Facing conflicting central messaging, local grid development encountered isomorphic pressures, leading grids to resemble higher-level administration and to inherit a top–down and stability-focused mode of operation. To support this argument, I analyse five aspects: shifts in elite-level discourse, the proliferation of the grid system, recruitment standards for grid members, grid members’ tasks, and their assessment. Showcasing wide local variety, the grid system retains a managerial approach while collapsing service provision into security.
These two articles describe the granular level of Chinese state control and why it is so easy for the state to lockdown entire cities for many months. Coupled with QR code passports, the Chinese grid management system gives the state total, inescapable control of each and every member of society. This is the kind of technological control many of us fear is creeping into Western societies. Once established, a system like this may be impossible to overcome. Incidentally, this kind of totalitarian control is a major reason American second amendment rights must not be infringed. ABN
UPDATE: I am going to leave this post up because: 1) a lot of people have seen it; 2) it shows that bad information like this is almost always quickly identified and exposed, so we do not need a Ministry of Truth that relegates control of information to the government. ABN

You cannot just walk in a supermarket and buy your kitchen knife in China since 2017.
You need to be real name registered and facial recognized to purchase one.
Not to mention quarantine centers, aggressive lockdowns, curtailed freedom of speech and movement. Plus idiots in power barking nonstop pseudoscience. ABN
How xi jinping and CCP with less than 100 millions members can control more than 1.3 billions chinese people? The answer is world first qr code vaccine passport. Xi put an electronic monitoring noose around people’s neck since February 2020. You are under 24-hour surveillance.
Australia has an eSafety Commissioner named Julie Inman-Grant. While delivering remarks to the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, she outlined a new on-line era where free speech would need to be “recalibrated,” and the ability to be free from something called “on-line violence.”
For the past several years we have noted a progressive, totalitarian, shift in speech, specifically a redefinition of the word “violence.” Speech the leftists do not like, they call violence; and violence the leftists support, they call speech. As a result, the overlay of a newly recalibrated on-line world for speech and violence would be modified accordingly.
This one is even more idiotic. Give a moron a platform and a microphone and total bullshit ensues:
Note that I am not calling for her to banned from YT. Let her talk all she wants. Australia, talk back. You do NOT want to be ruled over by casual fools like this. She is espousing basic mind control. ABN
