I didn't think child labor still existed in China, just harsh labor conditions and low pay.

China's government's strict control of the media did, however, lead to me not questioning the social credit score thing.

Social credit scores were a thing. People were punished for low scores. It only happened in a few cities and it was described as a pilot.

Obviously the pilot got a lot of bad press in and outside China and it is no longer happening
