Original Chinese Transcript (Characters)Narrator (male voice):

我们现在来到这个村民家里，给他们安装这个户牌。 这个户牌上面有一个二维码，扫一扫就可以看到这个家庭的基本信息，包括家庭成员、收入情况，还有信用积分等等。 比如这个家庭，信用积分是6402.4分。 这有助于村民互相监督，促进文明乡风。 现在农村振兴战略下，很多地方都在推广这个数字户牌系统，便于管理和服务。

English TranslationNarrator:

We are now at this villager’s home, installing this household plaque for them.This household plaque has a QR code on it. By scanning it, you can see the basic information of this family, including family members, income situation, and credit points, etc.For example, this family has a credit score of 6402.4 points.This helps villagers supervise each other and promote civilized rural customs.Under the current Rural Revitalization strategy, many places are promoting this digital household plaque system to facilitate management and services.Notes:

• The “credit points” (信用积分) refer to local integrity or compliance ratings in pilot programs, often tied to rural governance, poverty alleviation tracking, or community behavior incentives—not a unified national “social credit score” as sometimes portrayed.
• The video shows officials attaching plaques to doors/walls and demonstrating scans on a phone, revealing household data.
• This appears to be from a local government promotional or instructional video, recirculated in the X post to highlight privacy concerns.
