For the purposes of the debate, a “social credit system” refers to a system which assigns a rating to every citizen based on government data regarding their economic history (e.g. paying taxes, paying debts) and social behaviour. Both good behaviours such as being kind, volunteer, law-abiding, etc., AND bad behaviours (law-breaking, bad public manners, jay-walking, not recylcing, being unkind etc.) will be assessed. Social Credit Ratings impact one’s ability to carry out economic transactions, such as seeking employment, renting or buying property.
