What actually exists is a set of legal blacklists, the most famous being the court judgment defaulter list (失信被执行人). It applies to people and businesses who refuse to comply with a court decision, usually things like unpaid debts.

If you ignore a court order, the court can place you under a high-consumption restriction (限制高消费). That means you can’t spend money on certain luxury services (first-class train tickets, flights, five-star hotels, or other high-end purchases) until you comply with the judgment.

You can still travel normally, stay in regular hotels, work, shop, and live your life. The restriction is specifically designed to stop people who refuse to obey court rulings from enjoying luxury spending while ignoring their legal obligations.

The popular idea in the west that everyone in China has a constantly changing personal “score” based on everyday behavior is simply western fantasy.

No point arguing or giving facts to these people. You are wasting your time. They are stuck in their propaganda bubble. Meanwhile the US has the worst credit system in the world, up to 800% interests to keep the poor people poor, no healthcare but GoFundMe, no infrastructure structure like high speed rail, but keep shitting on China.

China doesn't care. They are already so far ahead of the US in so many ways like again infrastructure, green energy, EV's, etc.

Leave these poor people in their Newsmax and Fox, meta bubble. They are not worth it.
