The article was careful to put that quote in context, which you haven't supplied here. They were almost certainly referring to the system being used against debtors who are not paying their debts. It's not a case of saying "people who have a bad score should be made bankrupt" but "people who are not paying their debts should have so much social pressure exerted on them that they would rather go bankrupt than not pay their debts". Their are situations I can imagine under such a system that are unethical, but I'm not as certain that it's unethical by definition.
