Description

This is a new system that was created as a national system of reputations by the Chinese government. It is estimated by 2020 that citizens’ economic and social reputation will be standardized or maintained as a credit.

At the current moment (mid-2018), it is not absolutely clear if there will be collaboration between the private and government entities to maintain the scores. It is also not clear if there will be a single system or multiple linked systems that will have a score for citizens and businesses.

This system is viewed in some quarters as a mass surveillance system that will use analysis technology. This book will look at the different areas of the Social Credit System.
