China just introduced a universal credit score, where everybody is measured as a number between 350 and 950. But this credit score isn’t just affected by how well you manage credit – it also reflects how well your political opinions are in line with Chinese official opinions, and whether your friends’ are, too.

Should be easy to get a max credit rating, then.  Look up the new leader's priorities and beliefs... and claim them as your own.

Boom!  Instantly credit worthy!

Hmmm.

I should apply for some Chinese credit...
