Congressman Mark Green: Cancel Culture Similar To China’s ‘Social Credit System’

In an op-ed for Fox News, Rep. Mark Green (R-CA) highlighted how cancel culture —  the impulse, among certain aspects of society, to destroy an individual’s reputation over statements that run contrary to progressive dogma — has eery similarities with China’s totalitarian methods of social control through its “social credit system.”

“As authoritarian rule in China reaches new heights with the Chinese Communist Party’s implementation of a social credit system, the United States should do everything in its power to resist following the same path,” argued Green. “China’s social credit system, designed to track every Chinese citizen’s social and economic behavior, is the CCP’s attempt at total control over its citizens’ lives. While the United States might not have an official social credit system, the radical left – through cancel culture and censorship of ideas – has created something that’s eerily similar.”
