  No? Why are you spouting BS? The Chinese Social Credit System is basically the same as the consumer credit reporting agencies in North America. Except the data is handled by an authorian state instead of for profit corpos.

    It’s also based on “law-abiding behavior” and “moral values” Source:

    2.2. Finding the Social Credit System in a regulatory jungle

    The broad range of policy goals projected on the system explains why what is generally translated as “social credit” is not a clearly and legally defined concept. Documents and discussions of the system contain a set of terms that range from financial creditworthiness (征信) to broader trustworthiness, law-abiding behaviour, or even moral values such as honesty and integrity (诚信/守信).

    I don’t know if all of that has been implemented, but that does seem to be part of the goals.

      Yes, it probably has its issues with vague wording. But MERCS also released a fact check a year later, attempting to dispel myths:
