This issue was once hotly debated on the Internet. Finally, Cao Zhiwei, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and two special committees in Guangzhou, gave a shocking answer after several months of investigation. China people may have to apply for as many as 400 certificates in their lifetime. To some extent, "Chinese-style accreditation" is related to the past unit system. Individuals need organizational proof to do anything. At present, the social credit system and administrative management level are mainly low. In order to stop some fraudulent acts and facilitate management, government departments constantly raise the threshold, and the way to raise the threshold is to issue various official certificates.
It can be said that in the past, if China people wanted to do something, they were either on the way to do it. However, with the development of Internet information technology in recent years, the wide application of big data and the gradual opening of information channels between departments, there will be fewer and fewer documents to be processed in the future. It will be a new social trend for electronic documents to replace paper documents. However, at this stage, "certificates" still play an important role as certificates and documents to prove identity and experience, especially in foreign affairs, many certificates have to be translated into English.
