Actually in China you don’t need a credit check to get an apartment, you only need to pay 3 or 6 months in advance instead (I nean, you pay in 3-6 month chunks).

Likewise, there was no credit extended for things like power, you were expected to pre-charge your power instead.

Being a good and obedient communist isn’t a very good predictor of anything but itself.
