    Just orientalist vibes, no sources in sight.

      Why don’t you correct me instead of marking my comment as bigotry and removing it? I said that China’s social credit system is just an ordinary credit system much like ours, and that is bigotry how, exactly? Explain it to me.

      It’s wild, you don’t even have to say anything bad about China to piss you off, you just have to talk about it neutrally without constantly praising it as a socialist utopia.

        Here’s some sources, some even from far-right US journals that have looked into it. It has more to do with regulating businesses and execs found to be in violation anti-trust laws.

        It’s really just standard anti-trust / financial legislation, IE things the US used to do before 1980s when they let finance capital take over.

        • The US’s credit score system is vastly more influential and detrimental to a majority of its population than China’s social credit system, which largely doesn’t even exist, and where it does exist it is only used to target businesses.
        • China’s Social Credit System is more about regulating businesses, and execs who are found to be in violation of anti-trust laws.

        If you’re going to mischaracterize it in the future, at least post some sources.
