> As a group it will be good. For an individual it will suck.

If by "group" you mean china's citizens then that assertion makes no sense at all because it's not possible for something to go against the interests of all individuals to be good for all citizens.

On the other hand, if by "group" you mean China's ruling elite then of course it's always in the interest of a totalitarian regime to oppress its citizens.

It’s not against the interests of all citizens.

Some will be supporting it. It will make it easier to trust people.
