Spoke with a US resident with family in China about this. She was woefully unconcerned about e-cny and social credit score. Considered it just normal and common sense control. Viewed social credit as just a normal way to prevent fraudsters from abusing debt or doing fraud. Unfortunately I suspect many normies in US and EU would see it the same way. For them surveillance is just a good thing. Well-behaved citizens have nothing to fear. If you are not a criminal... what would you have to hide? Privacy is simply not something that they value at all. The potential for abuse by authorities? They don't even imagine it.

E-CNY or Digital Renminbi has been rolled out more widely than people know. It's in most chinese phones. If you have WeChat, you have it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_renminbi
