People in China do not have social credit points.

The real "social credit system" bears almost no resemblance to the online meme.

Most people in China aren't even familiar with the system, because it's mostly used to regulate businesses.[0]

There's a funny video in which someone in Shanghai went out and asked random people on the street about their "social credit score." Most of them thought they were being asked about their financial credit scores.[1]
