Summary

Adam Knight’s study on China’s social credit system examines how the Party-state is currently harnessing technology to automate processes for consolidating and expanding its power. Knight traces the development of the system from its origins as a ‘technology of risk’ in the financial services market to its current-day role as a disciplinary ‘technology of regulation’, in operation to realise a state-arbitered moral ideal. The social credit system has evolved in recent years on two fronts, organisationally and conceptually. Organisationally, social credit’s evolution reflects a movement in policy innovation and implementation from the centre to the periphery. Conceptually, social credit has developed from a narrow policy goal to an increasingly broad array of punishment and reward initiatives as part of a political move by the Party to promote the ideological spread of what Knight calls chengxin (诚信) culture (‘sincerity and honesty’ culture) under Xi Jinping.
