That's a common misconception of how Chinese social credit works. China doesn't really care if you're criticizing the government as long as if they don't think of you as a threat. If they do, they'll simply imprison you. If the government is only a little suspicious, they wouldn't want to send you on guard by lowering your credit score.

Incidentally, this is also how it works in the United States. Or they'll just come to your apartment and shoot you. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton
