Other examples - China, ?

[edit source]

Seems like the social credits system (I may not have the name exactly right) in China might provide similar examples. I don't know if it is still operating, but it was mentioned a lot during more severe Covid times.

As I understand it there are several places where cash has become difficult to use. If you don't have the local electronic payment app, and compatible accounts, you are disadvantaged. (I think China was one place, but I know I read about other places as well.) Drakeula (talk) 03:33, 22 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
