Inspection to improve new social credit plan

A nationwide inspection of the country's social credit system will be conducted to ensure honesty in government affairs, commercial dealings, societal integrity and legal proceedings.

According to a working plan recently released by the central government, 19 areas will be targeted during the upcoming inspection, including telecom fraud, environmental pollution, illegal medical services, fixing of athletic contests and legal irregularities.

Other social problems that have garnered widespread public attention - such as unpaid wages, academic dishonesty and poverty alleviation fraud - will be in focus as well.
