Technocracy as social engineering will micro-manage everything and everyone within its society, insisting upon conformity and allegiance. China is run mostly by Technocracy scientists and engineers and has demonstrated these traits for at least 20 years now.
The terms 'circular economy' and Sustainable Development are UN terms that are tied together as synonymous thoughts. It stresses efficiency and cutting waste. As a Technocracy, China is agressively leading the global community in its path.
As a Technocracy, China is engineering its smart cities to include autonomous vehicles powered by alternative energy. In other words, the two concepts are merged into one. Considering its already-existing and ubiquitous surveillance program, people will be micro-managed like ants in a glass ant-farm.
China's massive camera ad AI-driven surveillance system has reached the point where authorities can pluck undesirables individuals out of millions and simply make them disappear. It happens so fast and without notice that relatives and friends are left with no answers and worse, no proof. This is reminiscent of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four when 'people simply disappeared."
In a race against time and the CCTV cameras, it took Chinese police only 7 minutes to physically apprehend a BBC reporter in a city of millions. One executive says, "We can match every face with an ID card and trace all your movements back one week in time. We can match your face with your car, match you with your relatives and the people you're in touch with. With enough cameras, we can know who you frequently meet."
Americans are generally brain-dead ignorant of this onslaught of Scientific Dictatorship coming upon them. China is leading the way, but Western hooks are deeply embedded in the research and application in society. Instant facial recognition of anyone, anywhere will enable Technocracy to take control over all societal systems.
China has no understanding of Capitalism or Free Enterprise because it is a Technocracy that scientifically engineers their society. 'Ghost Cities' and 'Ghost Collateral go hand in hand, where the entire system is riding on thin air. The next global economic collapse will take China to the mat.
The tension between big tech companies and national governments like China has never been greater. Should Apple help China censor its Internet and its citizens, or not? Thus far, Apple has caved to China's demands.
A Technocrat at heart, Wang Huning supports strong authoritarian rule in order to implement Sustainable Development, aka Technocracy. This is reminiscent of American Technocrats in the 1930s who called for newly-elected President Roosevelt to declare himself dictator in order to implement Technocracy.
