'It could spell life or death': Beijing to expand controversial Social Credit System to 33 million companies

Ms Hoffman said an 18-digit Chinese business registration number assigned to companies operating in China also made it easier to share information between various government offices. "I don't think that it will ever be a fully centralised system, each [local] government will have a slightly different version," she said.
