[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) I do think china is a capitalist hell hole that doesn't even have universal healthcare. But social credit thing is not real afaik. I personally asked several chinese people and they all laugh at it. They of course can and will prosecute "enemies of the state". But social credit is not the way they tend to do it. Meanwhile the US literally have credit score or something like that, don't they? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) do think china is a capitalist hell hole that doesn’t even have universal healthcare.

Where are you getting your information from?because it's all fake. During the third Reich you needed to buy insurance or to pay a private doctor. Many industries had to provide health insurance to their workers like in the US, but many people were left uncovered and healthcare professionals did not work for the state, they were mostly self employed or employed by private hospitals. There was not socialized healthcare like in most modern civilized countries. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 years ago [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 2 years ago they didnt say it was publicized or socialized.
