Citizens across the globe are increasingly exposed to digital governance. In China, the government has set up a "social credit system" which has been largely misunderstood in Western media and even scholarship. To remedy this significant knowledge gap, I synthesize and update the review presented in my monograph on digital surveillance in China to introduce readers to the different types of social credit systems, analyze how the blacklists (sanctions) and redlists (rewards) work, and explain that these systems remain more fragmented and less algorithmic than Western analysts sometimes believe.
