In this video, Patrick Bet-David explains the intricacies of China’s Social Credit System (SCS), which evaluates citizens based on their behavior and activities, assigns scores that can drastically affect their daily lives, from travel restrictions to social interactions. Patrick explores the origins, development, and real-world consequences of the SCS, highlighting individual stories and the broader societal impact.
The Chinese state is monitoring its own people and lowering an imaginary score given to them to grade their behavior.
