[Explanation] Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Improving the Distrust Control System and Building a Long-term Mechanism for Credit Construction."
(Hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions").
On December 25, the State Council Information Office held a regular briefing on the State Council’s policies to introduce the relevant situation.

The disciplinary measures taken against untrustworthy entities that reduce their rights or increase their obligations must be based on the facts of the untrustworthiness, based on laws and regulations, and be moderate in severity. No additional or heavier punishments shall be imposed at will, and financial institutions, credit service institutions, industry associations and chambers of commerce shall not be compulsory , The news media, etc. to punish untrustworthy entities.
Unless otherwise provided by laws and regulations, untrustworthy entities can apply for credit restoration if required to correct their untrustworthy behavior and eliminate adverse effects.
For those eligible for restoration, relevant departments and units shall promptly remove them from the untrustworthy list according to regulations.
[Explanation] Chen Hongwan, Director of the Department of Finance, Finance and Credit Construction of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the basic premise of credit restoration is to completely correct the dishonesty and eliminate the bad effects. If the bad faith is particularly serious and the bad effects are irreparable, the restoration will not be carried out. .

For example, such as online fraud, illegal fund-raising, low-quality vaccines, etc., if such serious violations are casually revoked and deleted, the public will not be able to find historical information. This is irresponsible to the victims and the public. .
At the same time, the cost of dishonesty is too low, it is not painful or itchy, and it cannot serve as a warning to other market entities.
[Explanation] In recent years, in some places, traffic light running and wrong garbage classification have also been included in dishonesty behavior.
In response to such situations, the "Guiding Opinions" also made clear provisions to prevent the credit mechanism from being abused.
[Concurrent] Lian Weiliang, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission
The inclusion of credit information records must be based on the catalog, that is to say, a catalog of public credit information is formulated uniformly at the national level.
For severe dishonesty behaviors or inter-departmental joint punishment, these dishonesty punishment measures must be based on the list, that is, a list of dishonesty punishment measures must be formulated at the national level.
For market entities with serious untrustworthy conduct, if they want to be included in the "blacklist", they must be based on the administrative law enforcement documents of the law enforcement agencies or the formal identification documents issued on the basis of the law enforcement documents.
[Explanation] Lian Weiliang said that in the information age, the protection of personal information is one of the most concerned issues for the public.
Therefore, in the construction of the social credit system, the protection of personal information will be strengthened, and the illegal collection of credit information must be resolutely cracked down.
[Concurrent] Lian Weiliang, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission
When it comes to personal credit information, including the credit information of legal persons, all links of collection, sharing, disclosure, and use must be strictly in accordance with laws and regulations.
Whether it is a government department, a public credit information service institution, or a market-oriented credit service institution, it is necessary to clarify the responsibility for protecting personal privacy and corporate trade secrets. If there is a problem in the hands of anyone, they must be held accountable.
Strictly implement information security level protection measures, and adopt strong technical measures to prevent various network attacks and malicious tampering.
