| − | * In July 2019, ''[[WIRED|Wired]]'' reported that there existed misconceptions regarding the Social Credit System of China. It argued that "Western concerns about what ''could'' happen with China’s Social Credit System have in some ways outstripped discussions about what's already really occurring...The exaggerated portrayals may also help to downplay surveillance efforts in other parts of the world." The rise of misconception, according to Jeremy Daum of [[Yale University]], is contributed by translation errors, the difference in word usage, and so on.<ref name="scs_explained">https://www.wired.com/story/china-social-credit-score-system/</ref>

| − | * In May 2019, ''Logic'' published an article by Shazeda Ahmed, who argued that "[f]oreign media has distorted the social credit system into a technological dystopia far removed from what is actually happening in China." She pointed out that common misconceptions included the beliefs that surveillance data is connected with a centralized database; that human activities online and offline are assigned with actual values that can be deducted, and that every citizen in China has a numerical score that is calculated by computer algorithm.<ref name="logic">https://logicmag.io/china/the-messy-truth-about-social-credit/</ref>

| − | * In May 2018, Rogier Creemers of [[Leiden University]] stated that despite the Chinese government's intentions of utilizing big data and [[artificial intelligence]], the regulatory method of SCS remained relatively crude. His research concluded that it is "... perhaps more accurate to conceive of the SCS as an ecosystem of initiatives broadly sharing a similar underlying logic, than a fully unified and integrated machine for social control."<ref name="creemers">https://doi.org/10.2139%2Fssrn.3175792</ref>

| − | * In March 2021, ''[[The Diplomat]]'' remarks that the assumption of Social Credit System being an Orwellian surveillance system held by Western observers exaggerates the reality and purpose of the system in real life. Despite the claim, the social credit system is "an extension of bond issuance risk assessment credit ratings introduced in China in the 1980s" and primarily serves the function of a financial risk assessment tool.<ref name="diplomat_2103">https://archive.is/UkUIO#selection-1435.0-1439.100</ref>
