Xu Xiaodong knows about the social credit system.
In 2017 Xu insulted tai chi grandmaster Chen Xiaowang, calling him a “dog” and a “fraud”. Chen, instead of settling the dispute in the ring, sued Xu and won. Xu was recently ordered by a Chinese court to pay 400,000 yuan (nearly $58,000) in fines and publicly apologize on social media for seven consecutive days for insulting Chen.
According to Apple Daily, Xu Xiaodong has already paid the fine, but he has refused to apologize. Because of his failure to comply with the sentence, last week a Chinese court lowered Xu’s credit score to “D”.
A credit score “D” means that Xu will no longer be allowed to buy plane tickets or train tickets, purchase real estate. He also will be banned from star-rated hotels, restaurants and nightclubs, and his children will not be able to study in private schools.
