Here's some sources, some even from far-right US journals that have looked into it. It has more to do with regulating businesses and execs found to be in violation anti-trust laws.

It's really just standard anti-trust / financial legislation, IE things the US used to do before 1980s when they let finance capital take over.

The US's credit score system is vastly more influential and detrimental to a majority of its population than China's social credit system, which largely doesn't even exist, and where it does exist it is only used to target businesses.
China’s Social Credit System is more about regulating businesses, and execs who are found to be in violation of anti-trust laws.

If you're going to mischaracterize it in the future, at least post some sources.
