Chinese Woman: The Health Barcode System Benefits the Government, Not Us

Chinese authorities have instigated health barcodes that use three different colors to identify a person’s health risk level. Red indicates a person who is confirmed or suspected to be infected with the CCP virus. Yellow indicates a person who has come into contact with a confirmed or suspected patient. Gr拍een indicates a person who has never been infected and has no contact history with potential virus carriers. Many people who are holding the green barcode feel happy about this identification system, thinking it is equivalent to a certificate of health. However, a Chinese woman realized that this system makes civilians more vulnerable to China’s inhumane epidemic control measures.

If that was the purpose, would the authorities allow us to fill out the health information ourselves when the barcode card was given to us? It is an electronic ID system that tracks our movements and whereabouts. That is, when you scan your barcode before entering a supermarket, it appears that a staff member is looking at the scan result at the front desk. But in reality, at the same time your whereabouts are being tracked electronically on a remote system. For instance, if you visited a shopping mall and someone inside the mall was later diagnosed with the novel coronavirus, the remote electronic system tracked all those who were inside the mall during that time frame and your green barcode will be degraded to yellow or red. That is not the worst thing about the system. What’s really terrible is that your community staff treat you as an enemy. They will come to your home, measure your temperature, and then take you to a place for isolation. You can’t self-quarantine at home, you are sent to a centralized isolation facility where you stay with other people who may be infected. You have to pay the cost of staying there. Therefore, people like us must be very careful as we live paycheck to paycheck and are the main contributor to our household income. Think twice before you go anywhere and before you scan your health barcode. Do I really need to visit this place? Are the people here trustworthy? Do not visit any place casually. Take this seriously. (Transition to another video) What she said is very true. The health barcode system has turned China into a “big data” prison. Everyone is wearing electronic shackles, and risks the danger of mandatory quarantine and discrimination at any time. In a recent video taken in Wuhan, everyone on a bus had to go to a quarantine site because one person with a red health barcode was on the bus.

Everyone on the bus is forbidden to leave now, and must undergo quarantine. All of them, such a shame. A passenger with a red barcode brought disaster to all of them.
