Be aware that China doesn't have a national police check or a credit check system either private or public.
Imagine trying to rent a house or get a loan without a credit check or police check.
The social credit system is basically a police check and a credit check combined. A bunch of other groups and companies are trying to add extra things to it (smoking on the bullet trains) basically the same as public interest groups in every county. Some will probably succeed but 80 to 90% of it just a combination of:
1. A Credit Check
2. A police Check
3. A no-fly list
If this is Orwellian then every western country is already miles ahead of them.
