They Literally just steal videos from Chinese tiktok and put text(often in mandarin) over it and post it to make it look authentic.
Also 550 is their favourite number because they refer to it a lot when making Social Credit videos.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The difference is that social credit is localized to specific provinces or cities that opt into the program. And it’s mostly only utilized for businesses (to ensure they’re compliant with the law by actually providing the services advertised to consumers). The owners/executives are the ones whose lives are nominally affected by the score. That’s not to say that can’t expand the system to other areas that weren’t intended for it (see SSN in the US), but so far it’s not some 1984 shit. I’ve met some international Chinese liberals while in college, and sometimes American students would ask them about credit scores and they would have no idea what the hell you’re talking about lol
The cartoonish social credit dystopia fabrication has gotten so outlandish that western, liberal media outlets have had to write articles debunking the claims because the things they said had no basis in reality like any good lie
So it’s less dystopian than the American social credit system…. Of course
Every accusation an admission
What I hate is that some lefty podcasts still either espouse this social credit nonsense explicitly or some of their guests will do so without an ounce of pushback from the hosts. I think the most recent instance I heard was an episode from This Machine Kills which oozes radlib and sucdem vibes anyway
