In an article by Austria's Der Standard, the concept of China's 'social credit system' is likened to an Orwellian form of extensive surveillance that has garnered widespread attention and criticism in the West. The system, aimed at 'encouraging' Chinese citizens to become model citizens through a scoring system linked to behaviors such as driving habits, has raised concerns about becoming a tool for authoritarian control. While the Chinese government highlights the system's benefits for credit evaluation in the private sector and enhancing transparency in local government debt, there are still fears that this system could potentially evolve into a centralized monitoring tool with all necessary elements already in place, as seen in Xinjiang. The recent European Parliament elections may impact the EU's stance towards China, potentially leading to punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and other products in an attempt to combat unfair competition, contingent on the pressure exerted by European parliamentarians.
