SCMP: China’s social credit system shows its teeth, banning millions from taking flights, trains
* Annual report shows the businesses and individuals added to trustworthiness blacklist as use of the government system accelerates
* System aims to pressure citizens to avoid bad behaviour, although human rights advocates argue it does not take into account individual circumstances
Millions of Chinese individuals and businesses have been labelled as untrustworthy on an official blacklist banning them from any number of activities, including accessing financial markets or travelling by air or train, as the use of the government’s social credit system accelerates.
The annual blacklist is part of a broader effort to boost “trustworthiness” in Chinese society and is an extension of China’s social credit system, which is expected to give each of its 1.4 billion citizens a personal score.
The social credit system assigns both positive and negative scores for individual or corporate behaviour in an attempt to pressure citizens into behaving.

The ultimate class system. Poor people will remain poor because they lose crucial access to traveling. It's a terrible thing to do, and shows how draconic the Chinese have become. The World needs to watch out. CNN needs to report on this and stop this nonsense of making up sh$t. Like for real, this is why everyone hates the main stream media .. MSNBC too. Just terrible, and there are so many, now documented cases - but the media, CNN, and MSNBC again being the biggest offenders, barely redact and withold so much information from their viewers (much much more so than Fox News used to do, it completely distorts reality), that parrots like Fred don't wake up to it.. meanwhile China and Russia both make significant advances while the country is being divided by these liars and congress gets nothing done as it is already. Mueller better get it done this time for real - I don't care what the report says, if Trump is guilty, so be it, but we cannot have this nearly 3 year (before it was 1 year FBI LOOKING FOR A CRIME!) nonsense while it is clear as day now that Team Hillary and the FBI worked together to sabotage this presidency, come up with a Russia Narrative that blew up bigger than they ever imagined.. Hillary is very quiet these days.. it is untypical for her.. she must make a public appearance (totally unrelated, maybe a speech about how shit Trump is).. it's an all out fight now, whichever party survives will avoid jail, and I think Hillary is losing.. but quite a few more people will have to fall on the sword for her before she ever sees prison
Sir--
Please stop foaming at the mouth. Here a list of all the MSM that has reported on China's social credit, and the list includes CNN a few times
Using tools to google articles in the last month, the one(and only) from CNN tries to paint a better picture of the app, and even encourages you to sign up. With CNN's amore with socialist reporters, I am not surprised by this. Thanks for reaffirming the persons thoughts that posted first.

Soon a return to the need for a good reason and a passport to travel to the next town.
How will this impact the traditional massive travel times like New Years/testing for the start of school?
