Good news for those of us tired of the security checks on Beijing's subway.

Global Times has proudly announced that, if you are a honest citizen, you can now have easy access to the subway.

No more man-handling and patting up your private parts, for you; no sirree. If you're prepared to just take a quick facial recognition procedure, have not committed uncivilized behavior (eating or carrying prohibited items, or disrupting a COVID-19 test site) previously, and -- ofcourse -- use the Approved and Glorious App you, yes, YOU, can enter the subway system unchecked (apart from an additional facial scan at the entry).

Another Milestone in Global Development and Cultural Achievement. That is, if you haven't previously fscked your second-generation social credit score some other way in either one of the following four areas: administrative affairs, commercial activities, social behavior, and the judicial system.

Keeping Trust is Glorious and Breaking Trust is Disgraceful, and all that -- now coupled with a neat connection to the public transport system, as well as your bank account.

By now, 1.1 billion should be happily checking their credit scores online, dixit the Global Times.
