Working overtime to keep that social credit score high I see

social credit is just gen Xs' and millennials' rebrand of orientalism and yellow peril. Boomers just called it called it China's tentacles. It's beaten to death and it wasn't funny when it was brand new. Find new material to veil your orientalism please, this one's all used up

I tought this was a thing, not like the western media portrays but somewhat? What actually happens over there, can you elaborate?

Social credit, insofar as it actually exists, is barely any different from a criminal record, and certainly less restrictive than that combined with a FICO score and an advertiser's profile.
