The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website -- with no identity verification (for now at least)

Congratulations, you paid off your credit card debt. As a result your credit score just dropped, good luck on getting that mortgage approved.

Europe exists with neither of these problems. You can get a credit card if you want but loads of people don't. From a low effort search it actually looks like most people in almost all European countries don't have one. Few exceptions like Norway but even there you have a very significant minority without one.

UK here and I bought a house without ever having a credit card or worrying or knowing what a credit rating is.

Credit Score it does vary tbh in whether they care about it

Like just to rent a place I had to have good credit score here in Scotland, but when I lived in England they didn't care as long as I paid them

Interesting, not rented in Scotland but in England I just had to sign on some toilet paper and hand over a deposit in cash.

yeah, no. credit score is very much a thing in Europe. good for you, though.

in finland there's no such thing

Not saying it doesn’t exist. But its easy to go through live without ever giving a shit about it. Been working for me so far even when deeply below poverty wages. Now I am between UK minimum and median wage so shits easy.

fortunately, posting that Donald Trump is a pedophile rapist online doesn't tank your credit score.

try speaking out about China online and see what happens.

personally, I've been harassed enough to know I should never visit China.
