One of my absolute favorite researchers on #socialcredit, @MareikeOhlberg of @merics_eu , along with co-authors, has published survey results on Chinese attitudes to the #socialcreditsystem - great stuff.https://www.merics.org/en/china-monitor/what-do-young-chinese-think-about-social-credit …

A nice study, but No.1 "possible explanation" for differences between German and Chinese respondents = "Chinese culture traditionally puts more emphasis on society than on the individual"
I don't necessarily take umbrage with this - I think it's shorthand for a differential in the way that Chinese citizens feel the tug of nodes in a wider network, which in user research have heard described as "feeling all the bedsprings that move as one sits on the bed".

This is also a characteristic of Italian and Greek culture, especially in places away from the big cities. Every culture has this to varying degrees, I feel this is more about rural v urban areas than about China.

Same goes for guanxi, imo. These kind of social embeddedness with concentric circles of family - friends - acquaintances - strangers is also very prevalent in Italy and Greek society. Hence, often called corrupt.
