Summary
Cynthia Chung is an amazing researcher, writer, and filmmaker, and is currently writing a mammoth series on Substack, The True Origins of China's 'Social Credit System' , which will later become a documentary, in which she exposes social credit scores as a Western invention, not a Chinese one, as we are led to believe. This matters a lot because we constantly hear about China leading the way in technocracy and why it's a model for Western countries, but the reality is an inversion of what we think we are told.
