Chinese authorities have unveiled their Draft Social Credit Law (comment was open through 14 December 2022) (Law of the PRC on the Establishment of the Social Credit System (Draft Released for Solicitation of Public Comment)

The "social credit system," first announced in 2014, is "an important component part of the Socialist market economy system and the social governance system" and aims to reinforce the idea that "keeping trust is glorious and breaking trust is disgraceful," according to a 2015 government document. The rankings are decided by China's economics planning team, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the People's Bank of China, and the Chinese court system, according to the South China Morning Post. (Business Insider)

The Draft Law represents the first major comprehensive rationalization, through law, of the vision (and framework) first circulated by the State Council in its now famous 2014 White Paper. It also represents the further development of the project of legalization around the Socialist rule of law core principles. To that end, it also represents the further operationalization of the principles and objectives of New Era ideology centering on the development of the Socialist Market economy expressed in the First Secretary's Report to the 20th CPC Congress in October 2022 ("We will refine the systems underpinning the market economy, such as those for property rights protection, market access, fair competition, and social credit, in order to improve the business environment." Ibid.).  

I will discuss the substance of the Draft Social Credit Law in a future post.  But that task cannot be fully realized without a careful consideration of an interpretive opinion that was distributed 29 March 2022 with little fanfare:  中共中央办公厅 国务院办公厅印发  《关于推进社会信用体系建设高质量发展  促进形成新发展格局的意见》[ General Office of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council  "Opinions on Promoting the Construction of a Social Credit System with High-Quality Development and Promoting the Formation of a New Development Pattern"].

《关于推进社会信用体系建设高质量发展  促进形成新发展格局的意见》is a quite useful  gloss on the Draft Social Credit Law. Its greatest utility is in framing the principles around which the later in time Draft SCS Law was drafted, and more importantly, the way that the Draft SCS LAw would be intended to serve as an important element in the construction of New Era Socialist Market economy in China. That, in turn, will likely have a strong impact on the way in which Chinese enterprises will operate along the Belt & Road System, and, on that basis influence the working style of its local partners. It should be read in conjunction with the following:
