> The post lists its sources at the bottom If you trust some random student's homework as an accurate summary, that's on you. > Your claims that this system is entirely a myth I never said that the existence of a system is a myth. The myth is the score. The internet meme that everyone knows and that many believe is centered around this score, and therefore has nothing to do with reality. > that it's only applied to companies I never said that it only applies to companies. I said that it's mainly focused on companies. I specifically told you one way that it could be applied to individuals: people who default on court judgments can be banned from buying certain "luxury" goods like high-speed train tickets. > I don't need to be an expert to understand English. Understanding English does not mean you'll understand a legal document written in English. I don't think you've understood the law you linked to. One major aspect of it that I think you don't appreciate is that it is focused on limiting the types of penalties that local governments may impose for certain types of crimes. Another aspect that I think you're missing is that this is focused on business regulation. When it does mention "natural persons," it's often dealing with their professional conduct. E.g., people who commit fraud may be banned from carrying out certain professions. A third aspect of the law that I think you're overlooking is that these penalties are imposed on entities or people that break the law, not for any sort of low "social credit score." This example ties together these last two points: "In accordance with laws and regulations, carry out professional bans or practice restrictions for a set period of time against natural persons that have major conduct in violation of laws or regulations in a specified sector." Local governments can ban people who violate the law in a certain business sector from practicing in that sector. This is nothing at all like the "social credit score" meme. This is like, "If you've been convicted of embezzlement, you can't work at a bank any more." It isn't, "If you post a comment online that the CCP doesn't like, you can't get a loan."
