China to enforce RFID ID cards : We will track you down
Filed in archive Technology by S.M. Schrama on August 15, 2007
A new ID card has been introduced holding an embedded chip that will include the holder's name, address, work history, educational background, religion, ethnicity, police record, medical insurance status and landlord's phone number. The cards will also carry reproductive history information, to further aid authorities in enforcing China's "one child" policy.(Engadget)Anyone notcarrying this ID will be expelled from the great country.

Some say the US economy has dried out and China is the new production superpower, but I can't help but wonder how long China will be able to hold that position. It is probably no different from Europe, where all IT companies offshore their production to asian countries. In ten years time, that will no longer be profitable, so offshoring will become a thing of the past and we will be right where we started : here.
