This is so complex. I think it's too complex to completely understand for me (dude in california). Originally I thought it was kind of dystopian, but in itself (ie academics doing "bad things") it fits into the rest of the social fabric of the community. The overall social credit system is super strange to me, which I think is worth talking about, but this part seems like an extension of that status quo. I think people need more economic mobility, and the ability to live where they want when policies like this come up. Bringing the smartest / most entrepreneurial Chinese away from China because of bad policy is one way of driving economic incentives... but I'm not sure how to deal with this in itself. Makes me want to study sociology more though.
