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.
It added that the rules would come into effect on 1 May.
Sounds kind of reasonable right? You smoke on a train we're going to ban you for getting on trains for a while for not following the rules. The only problem is you give government these kinds of powers and they will always, 100% of the time abuse them because that's just the nature of government and this is communist China we are talking about so surely no good will come from this.
I don't think this is a coincidences either that the Chinese leader just became a dictator for life and now he's implementing this policy. Clearly a form of social control that Hitler himself would be proud of. Remember the yellow stars Jews had to wear in Nazi Germany? Now it's going to happen in China digitally.
What's going to happen when your social score is too low or the dictator of China decides to 'clean house'?
I already know what is going to happen because history is repeating itself right now.
