[Bigdatasur] Post - When Health Code becomes Health Gradient: Safety or Social Control?

[Yiran Zhao]

Dear all,

My name is Yiran Zhao, and I am a research master student in Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam who lived in China for 20 years and did my bachelor in Taiwan. I'm excited about being here and welcome any discussions about China/Taiwan:)
I am happy to announce the publication of my post in both Chinese and English. Here go the links and the summary.

"Please show your Health Code." Almost all public places in China have posted such requests at the entrances nowadays. Health Code, a three color-based application, is rolled out to control people's movements and curb the coronavirus's spread. A local government then proposed a Gradient Health Code to rank citizens based on smoking, sleeping, and medical records.
