Since the 2003 launch of its "Gold Shield Program," the Public Security Bureau had collected information on about 1.25 billion of the country's 1.3 billion people."
It is coming to America, though in a different form.
link:"Google aims to be able to track its users to within 100-200 feet of their location through new wireless networks in order to serve them with relevant advertising from local businesses."

I wouldn't count being subjected to yet more targeted advertising as a good thing.
in theory if advertising was targeted and their profiling systems worked you would could possibly be subject to less advertisement.
Mianly because the cost of advertisement would probably go up in the short term.
That beign said I do agree with you.
