The sadder thing is that Chinese social credit hasn’t actually even been implemented, and doesn’t seem like it’s going to. There are only limited local experiments, most of which are allegedly largely irrelevant.
Whereas there are multiple credit score companies currently tracking literally everyone who has a bank account.
How do you think it came to be that most Americans believe that in China you can have your home seized for being impolite?
A deluge of articles that confirms the audience's unexamined orientalism, and makes them feel superior.
