    It sounds like it was the sort of horrid “good citizen” system in pilot cities until it was stopped

    In 2019, the central government voiced dissatisfaction with pilot cities experimenting with social credit scores. It issued guidelines clarifying that citizens could not be punished for having low scores and that punishments should only be limited to legally defined crimes and civil infractions. As a result, pilot cities either discontinued their point-based systems or restricted them to voluntary participation with no major consequences for having low scores.

      Somehow, I don’t think tankies will be crediting the PRC for stopping this silly system before it got out of hand any time soon.
