Debunking Myths about China’s Social Credit System

By Land Destroyer

Western government & the Western media have deliberately lied about China operating a central “social credit score” system driven by political and ideological criteria.

However the same Western sources admit upon further examination that this is a myth, that no such system exists, and the multitude of systems China does use are for tracking and punishing what would be considered serious offenses anywhere [eg criminal behavior].

There is also no such thing as the CCP. The correct name for China’s Communist party is the CPC (the Chinese Party of China). Assume any article referring to the CCP originates from US intelligence propagandists until proven otherwise.

Although some private Chinese companies use systems similar to “social credit” to rate private employees, the Chinese government has no centralized “social credit” system rating antisocial behavior.
