What are your experiences/thoughts on China's Social Credit System? How does this affect a person's employment? Business? Housing? Travel? The social credit is not nationwide yet. But it will be hugely involved in defining what a Chinese citizen is going to be able to do in life. Essentially people get graded on everything you do. Paying your bills on time, your driving record, any possible criminal/civil record, how you act while you travel, even if you jaywalk. It†s all counted toward a good or bad score. And the government, with all of the cameras and facial recognition technologies, they can almost track you everywhere.Â
It also seems very opaque, I don†t know of any appeal process. So your score determines if you can change your official location to another city (hukou), work for the government, buy a car, get a loan, buy a house, and travel. It†s a credit rating of your entire life.

I've seen a couple videos on Youtube about it. It's really scary stuff because, as you say, there is no real appeals process for incomplete or inaccurate information. Talks about broadcasting 'wrong doing' on screens about town, publicly humiliating people, which I suspect is huge considering their views on public respect.

DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.
