British PM Candidate Rishi Sunak’s Family Company Pushes Digital ID And Social Credit Scores For WEF

Rishi Sunak, a former finance minister of the United Kingdom and a front-runner to become the country’s next prime minister, is related to a technology partner of the World Economic Forum who has promoted a Chinese Communist Party-style economy with trackable, digital identities and money.

Sunak, who won the second round of Tory leadership election by Conservative Members of Parliament (MPs) on July 15th after Boris Johnson’s resignation, is generally regarded as the “neoliberal” or “globalist” candidate.

Sunak’s wife’s father, Akshata Murthy, seems to be the founder of Infosys, an Indian information technology firm that provides services to a number of Fortune 500 firms and banks. Finacle, a digital banking platform, is one of the company’s major services. Despite her husband’s position as Britain’s most senior finance officer and anticipation of becoming Prime Minister, Murthy remains a foreign citizen with “non dom” status, which means she does not pay UK taxes.

The World Economic Forum (WEF), which has been charged with attempting to build the technology foundation for the implementation of a global “social credit score” system, lists Infosys as an official partner.

Authoritarian governments have used social credit ratings to restrict people’s freedom of movement and deprive them rights when they disobey orders. Social credit priority for the World Economic Forum would probably center on left-wing social problems including climate change, diversity, and equity.

InfoSys has received plaudits from the WEF, being referred to as a “global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting,” and is far from being a silent partner.

“With three decades of experience in managing the systems and workings of global enterprises, it steers clients through their digital journey by enabling them with an artificial intelligence-powered core that helps prioritize the execution of change…”

– WEF on the Sunak-linked InfoSys

The Global Head, President, and Chief Compliance Officer of Infosys are among the company’s executives who have written articles on the WEF website.

For the website, Infosys President Mohit Joshi has written articles advocating for digital banking, which offers the technical foundation for the “social credit score” system that the WEF has drawn criticism for trying to implement globally.

In the WEF essay titled “Why it’s time to take central banks’ digital currencies seriously,” dated August 2020, Joshi echoes these ideas.

“What is clear is that the crisis of COVID-19 presents many challenges – but also a unique opportunity to rethink how money is managed and used in our society,” he asks.

“There also credible concerns that paper money can transmit the virus,” he claimed before asking:

“Who then can blame the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) when it announced in February that it would be destroying cash collected in high-risk environments, such as public transport, markets or in hospitals?”

“Digital currencies could remove the cumbersome operational and security apparatus which surround conventional forms of money transmission,” continues his article, before claiming “there are political and social benefits as well.”

China’s Candidate.

“The potential for China here is immense. If the e-RMB is adopted broadly as a system to streamline trade and reduce risk, China could become the world’s trade banker, as well as its factory. Yet the bigger goal for China is actually more local, and relates to financial inclusion. Digitising the RMB will grant access to financial services to hundreds of millions of citizens, including some of the most disadvantaged. This benefit is something that can be applied to any country across the world,” continues the story, which also disclosed Infosys’ involvement in digitizing initiatives.

Joshi also calls for giving each person a “unique digital identity” in an opinion piece titled “Digital identity can help advance inclusive financial services.” He cites the Chinese Communist Party as an effective illustration of this strategy:

“The Chinese government in Zhejiang Province has developed an “enterprise digital code” for just this purpose, responding to small and mediums banks (SMBs) with easy-to-access financial resources. MYBank, a subsidiary of Ant Financial, the Chinese Big Tech firm, collaborates with the Chinese government through this scheme to provide cheap loans and other financial products to SMBs.”

In addition, he urges the establishment of a “digital stability board” to oversee all payments.

“This “digital stability board” would give members the platform to share best practices and monitor risks in digital commerce and health care, for instance. With this board in place, data trusts could be built to manage individuals’ and SMBs’ data,” he explains.

The WEF’s Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI), which is made up of cross-industry officials from the biggest firms in the world, includes Infosys as a member. Recently, it was revealed that the initiative, which ostensibly fights for business openness, is run by the former CEO of Reuters, who now sits on the board of Pfizer, the company that makes the COVID-19 vaccine.

Its executives are also active in many WEF working groups. For example, Corey Glickman, the global head of sustainability and design consulting services, is a member of the WEF Pioneer Cities working group.

Sunak has a reputation for having a soft spot for China; in an interview with the Telegraph, he declared that he desired a “complete sea change” in the way that China and the Chinese Communist Party interacted, favoring more economic links and cooperation. Sunak’s candidacy has also received support from China.
