and remember..... the CCP keeps a social credit score of everyone it can on the planet (billions of people) who are outside of china. They have been doing this for years and is, for if you ever want to travel or do business with china or in the chinese sphere of influence, they can look you up. Places like reddit and FB. twiiter and such all have apis that allow the chinese to harvest the data on the backend or if any of your info has ever passed through a huawii or cisco telcom router, anywhere on the inet at anytime (and these routers make up about 80% of the inet backbone)
The idea being that china will eventually dominate the west and they will have a record of you already... Meaning if you are reading this, you already have a social credit score in the chinese databases...... Source: worked in IT for 30 years and this is talked about on occasion and occasionally places like Wired or 2600 mag will run a story.
