In China, Your Credit Score Is Affected By Your Political Opinions &Your Friends' Political Opinions
But this credit score isn't just affected by how well you manage credit - it also reflects how well your political opinions are in line with Chinese official opinions, and whether your friends' are, too. |
Anybody can check anybody's credit score using the site Credit China, which again helps people disconnect from people who significantly draw down your own credit score: they're listed as such. All 869,582 of them. |
Things that will make your score deteriorate include posting political opinions without prior permission, talking about or describing a different history than the official one, or even publishing accurate up-to-date news from the Shanghai stock market collapse (which was and is embarrassing to the Chinese regime). But the kicker is that if any of your friends do this -- publish opinions without prior permission, or report accurate but embarrassing news -- your score will also deteriorate. And this will have a direct impact on your quality of life. "Sesame Credit, however, also uses other data to calculate the scores, such as a person's hobbies, interaction with friends, shopping habits and lifestyle." |
A very interesting read.
