Every time I go to China (to visit relatives) I expect to be in this sort of dystopic society like how everyone describes it, yet here I find probably the most integrated system of people and technology. Credit cards don't exist, everyone pays via QR code and phone. Tickets are on your phone, a simple monorail travels fast, with security, and the stations are actually clean (unlike NYC). In a certain sense you could say it's the future that you see in some movies. Too bad everything is blocked and you can feel yourself being watched all the time. But I guess that comes with the added benefit of safety in some regards.
