In Brief:
China's social credit system is getting an upgrade thanks to blockchain.
Right now the system is siloed along provincial borders, meaning data is not transferred when someone moves from province-to-province.
While many perceive blockchain to be a tool for popular liberation, it's being used in China to increase state monitoring of individuals.
