> To handle low-level corruption, they are developing the social credit system [1], which is a kind of national reputation system. It is negative for individual freedom but might be deemed necessary for rampant corruption practices in many businesses and government units there. How would that help with corruption? Are people going to be able to thumbs-down a corrupt official without facing penalties or retaliation? I assume individual corruption doesn't happen in isolation, but in mutually re-enforcing webs. The low-level corrupt have the support of the high-level corrupt, who they pay off, etc.
