As much as I like the idea of a social credit score, their implementation is absurdly naive. Not to mention centralized and authoritarian.
Do they really think they can manually craft a fair and balanced system, when they arbitrarily decide that jaywalking costs a person 10 points?
They use the same unidimensional score affected by jaywalking to assess a person's ability to pay debt? What could possibly go wrong.
They should keep collecting data about people, but they should rethink the way they attribute scores. Ideally, a person's score should be calculated based on the values and preferences of the perceiver. The score of Donald Trump, for example, could differ significantly depending on who you ask.
