As usual I’m turning to lemmy to get answers/resources on this before I make assumptions and do further reading myself.
Holidays have started and with that comes family discussions on topics such as China having a socials points system which dictates (apparently) everything from you being able to buy a house or enrolling your child into a good school.
Is this true or not? I’ve heard mixed responses and would love more explanations.
Have you heard anything to support this? The strongest support I can find for these claims is redditors saying something like “-50 social credit points” to a comment saying “china bad”. There has never been any credible evidence of the evil CCP monitoring your everyday speech and behaviour to adjust these supposed social credit points. It is also not explained what the implication of having a bad “social credit” are. All of the stuff avoids any concrete details and asks you to fill in the blanks with whatever biases you might have.
