They are the same thing. The Chinese social credit is mostly about money. The USA money credit is affected by social factors. They are the same.

What social factors do you imagine affect your credit score in the US?

Like if you're arrested for some misdemeanor, that goes on your social credit score. If you're caught peeing in public your social credit score basically goes to zero (registered sex offender).

And neither of those will affect your US financial credit score

China also keeps separate scores but we just refer to them all together as a social credit score.

That won’t affect your credit score, although many housing and employment concerns will run a background check and that can ruin your life.
