China social credit system erased them

Deleted, not broke. In China, thousands of young people are homeless—not for lack of money, but because the social credit system erased them. Every move, word, and purchase is scored. Blacklisted?

Your WeChat Pay dies, salary stops, and you can’t buy food or a train ticket. Digitally dead, they sleep on streets, shamed by apps exposing their “debts.” No crime, just a low score. This isn’t sci-fi—it’s China, 2025.

Now, the world’s pushing digital IDs and CBDCs, tying your life to a single digital score. One glitch, one dissent, and you’re cut off. China’s dystopia is a warning: when tech tracks and controls, how long until you’re deleted?
