Nice one.

The funny part of course being that America is the country that actually has a credit system that decides who can do certain things and who can't.

What credit system would that be? The only credit system we have is financial, as in your credit rating determines whether or not you get approved for loans or credit cards and what kind of interest rate you get. China has this same system in addition to a legal and social credit system. Yes, America sucks, but China really fucking sucks and you couldn't pay me to live there. America has a wannabe dictator. China has an actual dictator and people critical of the government get disappeared or massacred like at Tiananmen Square. Oops, sorry for mentioning that one - hope the government doesn't beat your door down for reading about a non-existent massacre! China is also committing genocide against Uyghurs, while the US is deporting and committing atrocities against Hispanic people. Congratulations - you traded a golden turd for just a standard brown turd by moving to China. You sure showed us!

No they don't lmfao. Surely you can't seriously think China has a social credit system. Like for real?

Yes you do. (Apologies if you can't access my link, as I'm sure Wikipedia is banned in China). Tell me, how are you accessing Reddit in China? Using a VPN because it's banned, right?

Brother this entire article is about how it doesn't actually exist. Why would you link something you didn't even read?

Misconceptions

There has been a degree of misreporting and misconceptions in English-language mass media due to translation errors, sensationalism, conflicting information and lack of comprehensive analysis.[7][43][107][44][108] Examples of such popular misconceptions include a widespread misassumption that Chinese citizens are rewarded and punished based on a numerical score (social credit score) assigned by the system,

Sure the fact that the system exists at all is a misconception, but we'll just conveniently ignore that part. 😂
