China refuses millions of citizens to buy airline and train tickets If Chinese citizens buy "too many" computer games or share false news, they can be penalized. The government's social credit rating can have consequences such as losing the opportunity to book airline tickets - and to have pets.
Millions of Chinese are refused to buy airline or train tickets, writes The Independent . The reason is China's new system of social credit rating, which is used to monitor and assess residents. Are you Chinese, your behavior affects your social credit rating. While a credit rating is usually used to estimate how likely it is that you can run a loan, China's social credit rating will provide government information about where "trustworthy" citizens are.
The system rewards Chinese people who donate blood and work voluntarily while breaking traffic laws, smoking where prohibited, buying "too many" video games and sharing false news online is punished, according to Foreign Policy .
11 million refused to fly In parts of China, including in Hangzhou, Shanghai, the system is introduced. It is expected that it will be nationwide by 2020.
According to the state-run news agency Global Times , the authorities had blacklisted 11.14 million Chinese people from booking airline tickets, while 4.25 million refused to book tickets for jet jets. In addition, three million have been deprived of the opportunity to book business class train tickets.
The goal of the system is to make it more difficult for "unreliable" residents and organizations to move freely, writes The Independent . In a plan published this week, according to the newspaper, among other things, "those who break the law and lose trust will pay an expensive price."
The goal is for people with bad social credit rating to become bankrupt, writes Global Times . The state-run news agency also cites what should be a Chinese government employee that "if [China] does not increase the cost of being discredited, we urge discredited to continue as usual."
It is uncertain how China will penalize citizens with bad credit ratings beyond restricting the ability to move freely, but The Independent writes that it will probably mean slower internet, becoming blacklisted for some jobs and hotels, limited access to good schools and losing the right to own a pet.
In addition to low-risk residents being punished by losing opportunities and rights, the authorities will also publish lists of who are "unreliable".

Digital gulags are so much easier to hide than actual gulags.

Facebook is evil.

Google helped.
Google is evil.
Here? All the twigs on the 3 branches become fair game.
They just want complete control.
Another reason they are trying to outlaw cash.
Anyone who wants to outlaw cash money needs to be executed by firing squad.
FAKE NEWS from The Independent.
I will be the first on FR to report if I am being blacklisted or suppressed in any way. I promise my fellow FReepers that I will also report to Free Republic if I run into any of those cat sized killer zombie hornets that are “killing” people all over China, I also promise that the moment the great firewall of China blocks my VPN, I will report it directly.
I am still trying to find Churches with crosses removed. It’s been three years so far. Nope. Haven’t found any. But, I’m still looking. I’ll take a pic and post it when I find one.
Not that China is a bastion of Democracy. It isn’t, but then neither is the United States. We’ve just got to start questioning what we read, as most all of it is pure horse poo poo.
Oh, and don’t get made at me asking for secondary verification. When someone calls me a deplorable and a racist, I want to know specifically what I did to deserve that title.
See what a “benevolent” communist govt is capable of?

Right here,right now.
I believe this is talking about Chinese citizens.
Just saying... I have heard about this quite a bit in the last year.
Are you trying to say it isn’t happening?
Or just, that it isn’t being used against Lao Wai?
(yet)
That you know of.
Which you almost certainly, would not.
I believe Google & Facebook have targeted individuals to be murdered.
All it takes is just one single Judge who wants to be famous for doing the right thing. Big Tech has targeted murder victims.
If you think about it, in the interests of public security, the very first people that this kind of system would be targeted against would be the laowai.
Now, this is most especially true with the biometic registration at all entry points and state registration of VPN activity. Even as a laoban, the baoan’s expect me to go through the scanning procedures.
I also question the numbers already affected. Really, the population of the entire American midwest (in size) is affected. Seems like a very unlikely scenario for stage one project implementation.
You do know, and are aware that liberal millennial types have been targeting American conservatives for years with posting of outrageous news articles and bogus reports. They get a big kick out of it. Been some articles on this.
All that I am saying is very simple...
All “news” is fake UNLESS you personally see it, and are affected by it. Other than that, it is just a butterfly flapping it’s wing a half a globe away.
FIE ping.
Well, I can’t have a social life here in L.A. if I don’t pretend to hate Trump.
Yes that was what I was saying, in my comment about the observation of foreigners there.
I believe this is simply ramping up the pressure on the locals.
That said, I may have been a bit harsh. My apologies.
It bears watching though, for sure.
China keeps getting more powerful.
We really, really need to bring back American production, and stop importing EVERYTHING from another country.
Especially a country, whose population, completely dwarfs our own.
Alex Jones was right again. it’s coming here if conservatives don’t wake up.. like little Ben shapiro
