    Some of this shit is just true and really show how clueless some people are. China is not all bad.

    But in some responses… The social credit had pilot cities. And people were banned for e.g. flying due to social misdeeds, while it seems to be unrelated to the social credit.

    The reality that especially Americans will be de-brainwashed by, is that china is not a communistic state. That it isn’t all bad. China is much more like america than both pro-china and pro-america people want to accept.

      CCP bots going hard. Give me a positive spin on Uyghur concentration camps and forced organ harvesting will you.

        to me, neither American nor Chinese, it’s like “yeah China did Uyghur, US did Native Americans, China forced organ harvesting, US forced sterilization on people…”

        Every country did atrocities and still does. Nationalism and patriotism of any country - including my own, is built on lies and obfuscation.

      Social misdeeds also remove you from being able to fly in the US, maybe I’m missing something…

        If I talk about the trail of tears, gaza or criticise Biden I will get put on the no fly list?

        In another comment, I have stated that myself.

        I am saying that the social credit system was attempted and they had people banned for e.g. flying. Which makes it reasonable to assume that a really bad social credit score would ban you from flying as well. As the social credit system was experimental, and apparently failed, it is impossible to say what it could have been.

        When international news talked about the social credit system and it being in pilot cities, they asked themselves what could be and communicate it as such. But people meme’d it and people believed the meme nonsense version.
