"Nosedive" has been widely compared to China's Social Credit System, a governmental initiative planned for testing in 2020,[34] and existing Chinese reputation systems such as Sesame Credit.[35][36] In November 2016, the Facebook page for Black Mirror shared an article in The Washington Post about the Social Credit System.[note 1] The system would assign each citizen a score determining decisions such as "whether you can borrow money" or "get your children into the best schools", and that actions such as "defaulting on a loan" or "criticizing the ruling party" would lead to a lower score.
