    What far-left? It’s an authoritarian-run capitalist state with better social safety nets than the US, doesn’t make it far-left.

      better social safety nets

      Given the horrifying dashcam footage, that doesn’t seem to keep some of their citizens on cars or trucks from plowing into other cars or people.

        The social credit system thing was largely just US propaganda. It was tested it one city and abandoned. China has a credit score system just like most major economies, but from what I understand, the US system has far more restrictions on citizen’s actions based on the credit system than China does. Theirs only impacts lending, ours can impact housing and employment (though I think this practice is on the out and banned in many states).
