I remember seeing an infographic and one of the worst offenses under China's social credit system was cheating in a video game. CHEATING IN A VIDEO GAME. LMAO!
The CIA agent who came up with the idea clearly knew what would upset their audience the most.
Yeah, one exists nationwide (credit score) and the other was some proposed municipality plan that didn't go anywhere
The existing social credit blacklists use these numbers, as do almost all activities in China. But these codes are not scores or rankings
Instead, individuals or companies are blacklisted for specific, relatively serious offenses like fraud and excessive pollution that would generally be offenses anywhere. To be sure, China does regulate speech, association, and other civil rights in ways that many disagree with, and the use of the social credit system to further curtail such rights deserves monitoring.
Same difference.
It doesn't matter -- the Chinese "social credit score" as it is it understood in the West simply does not exist.
