Chen, Jiahong eng 2019-06-21 electronic resource text/html ddc:342 China Social Credit System Verfassungsblog Verfassungsblog--2366-7044 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 In this contribution, I will aim to answer the question as to whether a Social Credit System will be more likely to lead a society to a ‘digital republic’ or a ‘digital dictatorship’. After analysing how the Chinese Social Credit System exhibits an enormous gap between policy-making and policy-execution, I argue that instead of a utopia or dystopia, such a system is more likely to lead us to a future of ‘digital bureaucracy’.
