Credit, or the offering of money loans for repayment, has existed since the Bronze Age. For most of this history, lenders relied mainly on their subjective judgement when deciding whether or not a borrower was creditworthy. With the development of information technology and data analysis, more and more countries are building their own credit systems with objective credit rating methods. People’s activities such as credit card payments, loan payments, etc., are recorded and scored, and will affect their future creditworthiness.

(A phone chat between two UK students, one has been in China for some time.)
Kelvin: Hi, Sherry, how’s everything going
Sherry: Everything is just so much fun! Actually, I went to Hangzhou with Wang Lin last Saturday. We stayed in a fantastic hotel.
Kelvin: Really What was so special about it
Sherry: Well, to start with, when we checked in, they didn’t make us pay a deposit!
Kelvin: Oh…How did that happen
Sherry: It turned out that Wang Lin has a very good social credit record.
Kelvin: A social credit record What’s that Could you tell me more about it
Sherry: Let me explain. China started to build a social credit system in 2014. And living in a city, you’d have lots of activities in your daily life that went onto your social credit record, such as paying credit card bills on time, returning books to the library in good condition without delay, using the shared bicycles properly, and so on. All these actions will accumulate good credit in the social credit system. Wang Lin has done well in all these aspects, and that brings her many benefits.
Kelvin: Fabulous! It sounds as if the social credit score has turned into money!
Sherry: Yes, it shows people how reliable and creditworthy you are. And it enables people with good social credit to enjoy a more convenient life at a lower cost. However, people with bad social credit could suffer.
Kelvin: How is that so
Sherry: I saw on TV recently that a man was prohibited from renting an expensive car — because the credit system showed he was a laolai!
Kelvin: A laolai What does that mean
Sherry: It means he’s the sort of person who can’t be relied on to repay his loans.
Kelvin: Well then, it was his own fault that he didn’t get the car. Maybe now he realize just how important it is to be creditworthy and behave properly.
Sherry: Absolutely. Many people with poor social credit records like this man have found it hard to buy flight tickets or tickets for high-speed rail services, among other things.
Kelvin: Well I think it’s definitely an encouragement to those who can be relied upon to do the right thing.
Sherry: And an effective way to build a friendly, honest and safe society.
