JALLENChina to ban citizens with bad 'social credit' rating from taking flights or using trains for up to a year
China said it will begin applying its so-called social credit system to flights and trains and stop people who have committed misdeeds from taking such transport for up to a year.
People who would be put on the restricted lists included those found to have committed acts like spreading false information about terrorism and causing trouble on flights, as well as those who used expired tickets or smoked on trains, according to two statements issued on the National Development and Reform Commission’s website on Friday.
Those found to have committed financial wrongdoings, such as employers who failed to pay social insurance or people who have failed to pay fines, would also face these restrictions, said the statements which were dated 2 March.
The move is in line with President’s Xi Jinping’s plan to construct a social credit system based on the principle of “once untrustworthy, always restricted,” said one of the notices which was signed by eight ministries, including the country’s aviation regulator and the Supreme People’s Court.
China has flagged plans to roll out a system that will allow government bodies to share information on its citizens’ trustworthiness and issue penalties based on a so-called social credit score.
However, there are signs that the use of social credit scoring on domestic transport could have started years ago. In early 2017, the country’s Supreme People’s Court said during a press conference that 6.15 million Chinese citizens had been banned from taking flights for social misdeeds.

saigonsmugglerIsn't this similar to our No-Fly list? The one that Obama had wanted to use to take guns away too?

"Red State" (instead of Grey State); I'm sure Chinese civil rights groups will be all over this, right?

AeteoclesWe call it social security and unemployment insurance here.
If some people can potentially get more out of it than what they paid into it (disability, for instance) then it is an insurance program. Social security is just a program to insure against the likelihood that one can't save enough money for retirement or before incurring debilitating injury.

I was thinking exactly that! A good episode and not at all too far fetched to believe if certian people or parties have their way.
