But I feel so much better now :) Yes, what irked me is not so much her arguments as her smug attitude and the underhanded way of retelling the conversation with a person who trusted her enough to talk with her at length.

If you ask me, lifting almost a billion of people out of poverty is amazing. Still, some developments in China make me feel unease.

What do people in China think about the social credit system?

Also while rounding up a million of Muslims in a reeducation camps is better than fucking up two countries in the wake of 9/11, it still doesn't sit well with me.

My impression for the social credit system is that people seem to like it (mind you, I'm not in China), because it is a powerful tool against bad behaviors and law breakers. I'm not sure if people are aware of or care the invasion of privacy in the implementation of the system. I'm not a big fan of this system in its current form, but someone will need to propose better alternative.

As for the reeducation camps, I haven't been following that closely, haven't had first hand account or direct experience. To form my opinion I will need to travel to Xinjiang to see for myself -- yep, I live up to my own suggestion.
