But you're talking about Beijing and Jiangsu. If you go to Xinjiang, bad score can get you literally imprisoned and tortured.

How many times have you been to Xinjiang? I’ve only been once, and didn’t notice any credits scoring going on even among Uighurs. I get that something bad must be going on sometimes, and maybe north Xinjiang (more populated, more Han) is a lot different from south Xinjiang (more Uighur), but if you visited Urumqi or Kashgar tomorrow, or even lived there, you probably wouldn’t notice much.
It's funny how non-Chinese people explain to Chinese people how things work in China.
