The difference is that China government is shaming people for past deeds, not to persuade them to stop a current criminal act being perpetuated.

That’s not what I read. They absolutely are trying to stop current criminals. Like this one,
> A high-profile Chinese businessman is on the brink of becoming a social outcast and being banned from his lavish spending habits by the courts if he doesn't pay back $21.5 million debt, even though he is the son a well-known real estate tycoon.
> Wang Sicong, the son of the billionaire owner of AMC Theaters, Wang Jianlin, was last week listed in the national database of the Supreme Court of China of debtors and defaulters with outstanding debt. A failure to pay within the given time will see him join the ranks of “discredited” people.
