And this is what the Socisl Credit System is trying to solve.

It’s also interesting how saying Chinese people are so different is widely accepted on HN. Can you imagine if the same comment was made about Jewish people?

I do hear others say the Chinese are the Jews of the East.

And “having dealt with Jewish vendors and mfgs for years that is a scary scenario. The whole culture of trust / fairness / honesty is very different from the west.”

Sure, if the Jews were most of the population of the US and Europe instead of being about 2%.

The Hakka are the Jews of the East. (Or, in India, the Parsis are.)
