China Builds State-Controlled Digital Identity System on Blockchain

China's Cyberspace Administration has released draft regulations for a national 'distributed digital identity' framework built on blockchain, requiring all identities to be anchored to government-authorised providers and real-name certificates. This represents a significant step toward total population identification and control infrastructure — precisely the kind of system that biblical prophecy warns will one day enable global economic and social control. Revelation 13:16-17 describes a future mark-based system without which no one may buy or sell, and frameworks like this — especially from a major world power — lay the technological and governmental groundwork for that reality.
