I've heard that some people like it (Chinese co-workers), as they feel everyone acting better, but they don't live in China at the moment.

#3Shouldn't it be "a distopian nightmare"?
I'm sure 'an' is correct since that's the headline the NY Post wrote, but I'm just curious why.

No, I'd say the NY Post made a typo.

They opinion don't affect the credit score, they currently live abroad. How can we evaluate the system? number of people likes / dislikes? National level of happiness?

Now, that's Orwellian. As described in the book.
It's not the cameras, the government agents in the shadows or the spying technology... It's the end result of everyone spying on each other that made the world of 1984 so inescapable to Winston.

#10The only positive side is that china’s regime is comiting suicide with this system. Seems like nothing was learned from communist russia. Intellectuals will flee, then top scientists, nobody will trade with them anymore, political opponents will be sent to camp, until finally it will all collapse under economical meltdown.
My only concern is that civilians don’t pay a too high price in the process.
