  • When it comes to China, one of the popular topics that always seem to pop up for discussion in the West is the so-called social credit system. It's often being compared to an episode from the Netflix show “Black Mirror” where the central government keeps track of their citizens' every move. The question is, how do ordinary Chinese citizens feel about the social credit system? Do they even have the same understanding of it as it’s being viewed in the West? To find out, our Asian Boss reporter hit the streets of Shanghai.
    The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Chinese population.

      First the System benefits those that are already doing well financially in this system that further shows they are trustworthy in terms of credit worthiness. This is not faair for most of the population who is trying to scale up the financial ladder. The pioneers have loopholes which was not previously exposed which helps them to be wealthy now. This Credit system is to stop others from being successful financially.
      Secondly, we are not talking about what the current Credit system is doing. We are focusing on what is the FULL POTENTIAL OF CREDIT SYSTEM AND WHAT IT MAY DO IN FUTURE. WHICH IS IT CAN AND HAVE THE POWER TO DISCRIMINATE WHOEVER WHO DONT FOLLOW EVEN A HEALTH CODE EXAMPLE MANDATORY VACCINATION WHICH IS WHAT ALL OF US WANTS TO AVOID. ITS THE FUTURE USE CASE THAT NEEDS TO CALIBRATE AND ADJUST TO PREVENT AND PROTECT ALL PEOPLE's WELL BEING.

      It's not like translation is innacurate... Translation is spot on. It's the name that communists decided to give to the system sounds this way because they want to pretend as if they are some sort of alternative to capitalism and "social score" supposedly sounds better and with less capitalist reference than 'credit score'. Considering that it's literally same thing as credit score they should had simply adopted the name that is used globally and this way would had avoided unecessary misunderstanding. But misunderstanding is what communist want to create - without misunderstanding - there would be less grounds to spread rumors how "socialist" China is better alternative to "capitalist" west - even though China is in no way less capitalist than the west.

    There was one time (2019) I commented something slightly positive about China under a video. Another guy replied with some weird words about social credit score and other ironic stuff to diss me. That was the first time I heard about this on youtube and made me really confused. Before this, I was like almost everyone in this video who thought the so-called social credit score was nothing but a financial tool applied by some Chinese companies. Then I checked some western mainstream media and found some "juicy" reports on how the Chinese government uses the social credit system to manipulate Chinese people. That was the first time I realized how disgusting and manipulative many western mainstream media are.

      @Ryan Alex the credit rating apps don’t involve the government. Most people never heard of them or use them. They existed only in Apps such as free bike apps and Taobao (China’s Amazon) that allow you making delayed payments. Since I pay in full and don’t use the delayed “buy now pay later” function in the apps, I’ve never setup accounts that might (might not) have credit ratings. I can honestly say that most Chinese don’t have any credit ratings since none of my entire extended family members have it, most haven’t even heard of it. I think the credit rating is to prevent people from future borrowings when they don’t pay back if they choose to use it.

      People literaly said that people that are not consistent with paying taxes etc could be restricted from traveling etc. Also they did say in the video that in some cities the credit system that gives points to people that donate blood etc and do other kind of "good" activities and reduces points for bad actions is indeed already implemented. The fact that this doesnt happen in all of China doesnt mean its less frightening. China is huge. Millions of people there are indeed affected by that. The fact that some millions there are nothing in comparison to the total population (the majority of which is not well informed about that) doesnt mean that its not extremely alarming. One lady also said that she was happy to hear that such "hard core" system was implemented in a few cities because she was angry with people that dont abide by the laws. That's definitely dystopic.

    A lot of westerners don’t seem to realize that we essentially have the same system. In the US for example, we have a financial credit system which affects your ability to rent property. On apps/websites like Uber, AirBnb, eBay, etc, you get a social score that will affect your ability to use the service. Even criminal records could be considered a social credit system because having a criminal record can bar you from getting hired at jobs, plus felons are not allowed to vote, and s**ual predators need to register their address with the gov. While often questionable, these credit systems can sometimes have huge benefits for society. So I don’t think it’s always a bad thing.

      Secondly, in many cities they have 60 cameras on a stretch of 100 m road, many of them equipped with face recognition.

And this may surprise you, but many truly do not view the social credit as being as sinister as we do in the west. It truly is a different cultural mindset. This doesn't mean that all view it as totally benevolent. But they also see benefits to it. Would I like it? No. But I do believe that many people in China do not view it in such a strongly negative way as we do.

Now, this is seen as culturally relevant and commonplace in the US, however I cant help but feel how extremely invasive, insulting and dehumanizing it truly is. In my background/credit reports, I received a full list of addresses that I've lived over the past several years, verified employments, and financial history. It was shocking to see how invasive it was, how much power is given to companies here, and how little power we truly have over our own lives.

    Thanks for sharing this, I do admit, the first time I heard about this was years ago when I was younger and I saw it off a news channel (I don't remember which) and they definitely sensationalize it to the point where it seemed like the government was spying on you 24/7 and showed the "social credit scores" over people's heads while they walked the streets like it was some video game simulation.
    Watching this now as I'm older, when they are talking about how their credit effects their financial abilities, it's like "oh, that sounds like what we have as a credit score". When they talk about how their "behaviors" could affect the way they can use an app or from companies, it's like "oh, that's exactly how it is like on Uber where you rate each other to hold each other account and make sure that bad actors are not allowed to use the service".
    So many of these things are either directly parallel (or at minimum, adjacent) to what we have in the US but because of the way media portrays it and because it's from China and has the word "social(ist)" attached to it, there must be something nefarious behind this when in fact, we have similar systems in place here, we just call it something else.

      Is it so hard to accept that humans basically function very similar even on the other side of the world under very different government systems? Humans gonna human. The thing is that while China is different, they have just been implementing ideas that work from the west and retro-fitting it to work for their people. Like capitalism definitely is a thing in China but they keep capitalism under control of the state so you don't have corporations bleeding the people dry. The west made everything up to 4G, China improved on it and made 5G first and lead the way to 6G. It's all the same, just done better because the US have obviously stopped trying to compete.

      Digital isolation is real in China and I understand that because the Chinese government considers data a national asset. The government doesn't want their people's data flowing through the network outside China. And It is very natural for the government to protect assets.

      @dan339dan Před 2 lety +30

      As a Chinese, I'd be inclined to believe those who were interviewed weren't well informed of the system. The system is in partial implementation with a pilot program being tested in a Hangzhou village (2019). SCMP did reports on this. The pilot system works like pretty much like in Black Mirror. Villagers report good/bad deeds of their neighbors and household scores are posted in the town hall. Officials were employed and would also monitor behaviors like "X is a dedicated worker"/"X littered in the river" and add to the score.
      On a national scale and part of the Social Credit System program, the court can put citizens on the Dishonest Persons list, where they won't be able to:
      - ride certain public transports (plane/sleeper train/high speed rail/etc),
      - enjoy high end venues (hotels/club/golf)
      - buy/sell properties/cars or expand high end properties
      - vacation
      - put children in private schools/college
      - pay for other unnecessary items for living/working
      - restricted outbound travel
      - drive on highways
      - etc.
      The list of Dishonest Persons are public online and the court in Nanning publishes slideshows of these people on Chinese TikTok (DouYin)
      The thing is, I believe such a system can do good only if the system's mechanism and rules are transparent and consistent to everyone, but people seem to know how law enforcement works in China. So whether or not this Social Credit System would just be another tool that falls into the hands of a few corrupt officials with no safe guards or used against political targets, is the main question we should be thinking about.
      For reference, just recently, the Health Code system "glitched" red at the airport for a civil right activist Wang Yu (politically sensitive person) when they wanted to fly to another city when they declined suggestions from their local police not to travel. A red code would mean they may be close contacts and weren't allow to travel and enter venues. Their code returned normal when they returned home the next day.

    The funny thing the Social credit system is hyped up as a CCP thing, but in reality, it's actually managed by the Province itself. Each province will have different rules and scoring system, however, have heard in the future they do want to unify this.

    • @bigmaculous
      @bigmaculous Před 2 lety +8

      The difference between the Provinces is a temporary illusion of choice. Each province probably has different amounts and strictness of rules to suit the perspective and tolerance of the individual person. As you stated, they eventually plan on unifying the system, which will eventually mean one set of rules nationionally. It was always the plan from the start but they enforce it slowly to tame the people.

    In Malaysia, we have C-Cris which monitors your loan repayment behavior and C - Dos who documents your name and personal data in their system if you are declared bankrupt. Both systems are used by the bank to check your credit worthiness.
    I understand in US they have similar credit rating system that might affect your employment, loan application and tenancy eligibility. So isn't the whole world a Black Mirror for the big powerful financial industry and property owners?. Why only point at China?

    For those who are interested in the credit system on Chinese Internet. The thing is, it depends on what app you are using. And all the apps available on the market have to follow the regulations by the government. So it’s pretty much the same as in other countries. When the government needs to track someone - often for law enforcement, they just cooperate with those tech companies for the data. So as long as one follow the in-app rules(like agreement before registration) and stay within the law, the system doesn’t really affect anything.

      The problem with the video and the comment section is that two different types of credit system are discussed.

In the last minutes (I think around min 14), they switch the topic to the *social* credit system, which apparently not many Chinese people have even heard of and which is not in place yet (although pilot projects exist, as described by the interviewer).

    Some people compare this system with the one on Black Mirror, but tbh they are completely different. The Chinese one is basically for financial protection purposes. If you lose your credit, like not paying your loans on time, you may find it difficult to get another one again. This protects financial orgs and companies who provides services which require that people be honest and responsible, so that people can borrow things without paying any kinds of deposits.
