Chen, a 32-year-old entrepreneur in Rongcheng city who has trialled the scheme, told Foreign Policy:
"When we drive, now we always stop in front of crosswalks. If you don't stop, you will lose your points.
"At first, we just worried about losing points, but now we got used to it."
Mu Linming, a 62-year-old resident of Daxunjiangjia village who has also trialled the scheme, added:
"Life in our village has always been good. After introducing the system, it’s gotten even better.
"We are all good, and we can all encourage bad people to be good."
