U.S. Homeland Security probably isn't surveilling jaywalkers, yeah?

This tech is more likely used by USCIS to track non-citizens/immigrants under current administration. The Huxleyan non-conformed "real American" shall be under his eye. That would be less farfetched.

Yes, drivers given tickets end up on aforementioned jumbotron of shame.

Thus facial recognition cameras that automatically deduct social credit scores for litterers, spitters, smokers, and jay-walkers may not be a terrible "Orwellian" path en route to a 文明er 昆明, in contrast to a Brave New 'Merica.

Alipay's blue & white Hellobikes are free for an entire month for Alipay users with goodstanding credits, hence their meteoric popularity. They too are being dumped on the aforementioned mountain of bikes. Chengguan is punishing the shared bike companies for the collective negligence of the masses.

@GoKunming

Kunming's very own infamous bike graveyard of yellow, orange, and blue is piling up conspicuously above the walls of the vast empty lot just North of 空间俊园 building on Wuyi Road... just a short 300 meters walk North of Shuncheng Plaza 顺城购物中心.

It's a sad sight to see worthy of further investigating/reporting if one fancy.
