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.

Food for thought during Thanksgiving.

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.

Beg to differ. In a world of over-populated cities, eco-scraper (or green skyscrapers) are needed more than ever via sustainable development to curb carbon footprints. China is leading the way with the vision of environmentally-mindful architects from around the world. Societies need to build up in lieu of compromising nature via flat.

For the life of me I'm having trouble reading the above map.

I thought Line 3 & Line 1 are perpendicular from one another, not parallel.

Chinese maps often get the English compass rose cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) mixed up, confusing the hell out of navigators.
