    It’s always amazing to me seeing the “everything you read is propaganda” mfs insist that nothing they read is propaganda.

    And how do you know this is not pro-china propaganda? They do have social credit just not in the way you think. And before a fucking tankie responds with “uhh the us is worse”, indont fucking care, thats why i dont libe in the us. Instead in the us they have credit scores and criminal history checks before a job interview. Huge empires were always shit and will always be. The whole tactic of tankies is that they try to convince you that they are better than the us, not that they are actually good.

    Swapping CIA propaganda with CCP propaganda, I see. Temu does use slave labor for some products, or rather, they dont check whether the seller does and dont care when it happens. Just because that persons factory doesnt is not proof.

    edit: ah it says child labor, ok no idea where that came from

      They clearly state they don’t use child labour, because the little cunts are too inefficient apparently. (Multiple reports show that children are specifically used in Chinese factories, including assembly lines for Apple and Samsung, because their small hand are better at assembling components.)

      Doesn’t the wiki say the same thing, that it’s considered a myth? English page instead of chinese: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System

      Edit: trying to translate bits and it seems the pages are very different. I assumed different language versions of a page on Wikipedia are more or less the same, but that does not seem to be the case here

        “There has been a widespread misconception that China operates a nationwide and unitary social credit “score” based on individuals’ behavior, leading to punishments if the score is too low. Media reports in the West have sometimes exaggerated or inaccurately described this concept. In 2019, the central government voiced dissatisfaction with pilot cities experimenting with social credit scores. It issued guidelines clarifying that citizens could not be punished for having low scores, and that punishments should only be limited to legally defined crimes and civil infractions. As a result, pilot cities either discontinued their point-based systems or restricted them to voluntary participation with no major consequences for having low scores. According to a February 2022 report by the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS), a social credit “score” is a myth as there is “no score that dictates citizen’s place in society”.”
