The US is rapidly catching up with China in the field of authoritarianism.
china doesnt have anything like this
They don't have private companies like Equifax collecting those because it is built into the government.
At the minimum, new employee background check involved providing bank statement + social security contribution + income tax history.
the us government has both. they have a record of your pay and employment history as well. i bet most governments do
China has something I think is called "Social Credit Score". This seems to be another step towards that direction.
Their social credit score is the same thing as the US credit rating individuals are scored with.
the social credit score is a score that businesses and business owners have/will have that unites different systems for rating how trustworthy their businesses are to work with
