I suggest nobody's in danger here and that the problem is less serious than all the talk about it.
Answer to your question: yes - but are you sure you, as a Swiss citizen, need one?
No, number 6 - everyone born on a Saturday has a code number beginning with 6, followed by, in order, the date (10202018), time to the second, precise latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes and seconds (followed by N or S and then by E or W, as appropriate) of place of birth. Those without all of this data shall go through life without hukou and so must stay at home, where they shall have free 24-hour lifelong Internet access.

Weekend in Dali: A Chinese perspective
Posted byI think there's such a thing as tourism being commercially overdeveloped, especially when it is hyped as 'authentic', etc., and when 'authentic' is promoted as something deserving of sacred awe on the part of outsiders, who probably can't understand it anyway..
But then what does 'authentic' mean? I'd suggest it means not pretending to be what it is not.
And with that I suggest we all may be in trouble.

Posted by@JanJal: You mean it would drive investors to go to places where they can get away with not paying their employees if their invested money doesn't magically 'grow'?
