There's a big difference between the commonly reported western idea of a social credit system, and the actual credit system that exists in China. Chiefly, it is primarily for businesses, not citizens. You're making an error in attempting to equate the scope.

    First, don't use that term to describe Chinese people, that has racist connotations.

    As for your claim that the entire MO of the PRC's government is "control for personal gain," can you elaborate?

    It is not a "me problem" that you use outdated terminology with racist connotations, don't double down. Own up to it and revise your comment.

    Either way, the National People's Congress is not controlled by the Bourgeoisie, rather, the people control it. As a consequence, we see the widespread poverty eradication campaign reach a successful conclusion, large public infrastructure, and dramatic improvements in working class purchasing power and working conditions.

    Consider reading China Has Billionaires if you want to understand modern China from a Marxist perspective.
