In Xinjiang, monetary rewards are routinely offered to those who provide information to authorities about Uighurs’ religious practices. An April 2014 notice posted on a government website in Aksu Prefecture explained that informants could receive up to 50,000 yuan ($8,000) for reporting on local residents who engage in any of 53 kinds of proscribed behaviour. The list included 18 acts related to religion, such as praying in a public place, holding the Islamic Nikah wedding ceremony, or fasting during Ramadan. In Tibet, officials have offered monetary rewards of up to 200,000 yuan ($31,500) for information on monks associated with a self-immolation or other acts of dissent.
It's Hong Kong Free Press, so take it with a grain of salt, but this information simply will not be reported from a pro-China publication so this is as good as it'll probably get.
And I also want to stress that because of the fragmented nature of the implementation of the social credit system, I do not think that most of China faces issues like this, just isolated regions.
side note, I fucking hate having to assess the motives of a press institution before reading their content, I hope when we establish global communism that shit dies
The notice also specified rewards, whose value ranges from 50 yuan to over 50,000 yuan, for a wide range of intelligence from those wearing beards to spreading information to topple the authorities as well as conducting illegal religious activities.
Particularly, a reward from 5,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan could be given to whistle-blowers of activities including separatism preaching and training for terror attacks. The reward will also go to those who report intelligence of reactionary organizations overseas or activities to provoke conflicts between religious sects.
The beard bit is bad but I can't speak Chinese so I can't follow this source to the end, thanks for sharing this Comrade, hopefully someone who speaks Chinese can provide more info too
