    Yea the social score thing seems like a misunderstanding of Chinese culture.

    Chinese culture (and other Asian cultures) have a history of shunning people who have committed ‘shameful’ acts out of their communities.

    The MMA guy that the previous comment was talking about was shunned out of living a normal life in China for exposing the phony Kung Fu masters in China.

    The Chinese government has experimented with different kinds of social score systems, though most didn’t stick. They do have a credit/banking score system just like we have in the US, too. Still, I think most of this blacklisting just comes from their culture, and not from the Chinese government enforcing social scores.
