Why is this surprising? Everywhere every score is affected by what the people think about you who can influence the rating. That's why people work so hard to look good. That's why employees work unpaid nightshifts and extra hours without telling their bosses. That's why salespeople will laugh about your joke, no matter how bad it is.
- westiseast 11y agoThat's very disingenuous - despite that this is sadly 'par for the course' in China, there is a world of difference between what you're talking about and what this article is suggesting. Imagine in 2009 you forwarded a story to a friend in a private conversation thread on a private computer using commercial software about a corrupt village official that everyone was talking about. Jump to 2016 and now that guy is the provincial governor and nobody in your extended family can get even a $100 loan for anything. Thats very, very different from sucking up to your boss by working extra hours for free.
