> China's score is by government and it determines your mere existence. May be you end up in jail if the score goes below something.

Is this just speculation? Maybe you end up in jail?

That is why the word "maybe".

Of course given the way China works miffing the government actually means an existential threat. Unlike American who take for granted things like trial by jury, protection from cruel punishment, unauthorized searches etc. Chinese people dont have any such rights. By default they live because the government lets them.

We would never know he full extent of such score keeping.
