A Project by the Coalition for Peace and Ethics
www.china-social-credit.com is the official website of the research project “China’s Social Credit Initiative in a Global Context”, launched by the Coalition for Peace and Ethics. The project is led by Professor Larry Catà Backer. Habilitated Associate Professor Flora Sapio oversees research on the social credit system of China, and coordinates research on U.S. and European social credit systems, as they relate to domestic and transnational governance, trade, and investment.
Our data collection complies with the legal and regulatory frameworks of China, the United States, and the European Union.
Western and Chinese public and private regulation, standards, policies, indicators, black lists, press reports, academic articles and monographs.
We help understand the convergence and divergence between global and local systems of legal and regulatory compliance, risk assessment, rating, and transparency.
The Coalition for Peace and Ethics (CPE) was founded in 2006. It is an independent, non-profit, non partisan research and information focused organization. The CPE avoids ideology, adopts no specific political or religious doctrine, and owes allegiance to no master. We are engaged in a series of projects based on the production and dissemination of knowledge that is meant to empower people to take control of their own lives for personal and societal betternment in ways that are respectful to individuals and the communities in which they belong
