No, this isn't an episode of 'Black Mirror.' China monitors the behavior of its citizens to determine each person's 'social credit.' Too low a score can lead to a transportation ban.

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 March 2.

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.

This method only evil CCP China will follow, this is not a movie, if I can not travel to visit my family because my religion, or else I can not get merry because I am not pass the exam... wake up Chinese, we already wake up!

I doubt when china mainlanders wake up to ask freedom and democracy, wt do ccp plan to do via the surveillance system? As they already did sth in TiananmenSquare.

concon929 Also, one's family members' behavior also affect one's score. Such an evil system to control people!

Classic dystopian society, good for novel, bad in reality. BoycottChina

jesser489 The Black Mirror episode at least the scoring system was determined via personal interaction that being close to referendum. While the China scoring system depends on your royalty towards CCP. CHINAZI StandWithHongKong China_is_terrorist

sam99061414 The Communist China treat human beings as animals in zoo. No HumanRights/ dignity at all. All we have to do is to obey & follow the words of the CCP. China

This is not a country, it’s a cyber concentration camp ! CCP_is_terrorist

CCP China is such a control freak.

Fuck the chinese government. When their time is up eventually, they will deserve the hell they get. As do all tyrannical federal governments when Free People take back their countries & the oppression dealt by those governments is overcome, exposed, & those who did it prosecuted

The ‘social credit’ system is a large prison for citizens‼️ Stand Up and Say NO‼️‼️ ✊🏻FREEDOM ✊🏻HUMAN RIGHTS ✊🏻JUSTICE are universal values that the world should defend together ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong

Spreading false info about terrorism, committed financial fraud, use expired tickets, and smoking in airplanes... all punishable under law in the US. If there is an expedient way to punish these wrongdoers such as ban from public transportation, I am all for it.

It's quite sad when you see an episode of black mirror and 1984 become reality in china ccp just wants to govern forever at all cost

You don't want that system transplant to your country, right? Press your govt to REJECT 🇨🇳China Huawei 5G!

This happening with credit scores in America. Your credit score will hold you back here.

Dictator Xi is watching You~! antichinazi BoycottChina

The free world needs to speak up before Its too late.

Sheisren1 ChinaCommunistParty wants to turn China into one big factory, with absolutely no freedom. Where Chinese citizens are being categorised by Social Credit Scores. All Chinese have to live by the CCP guidelines which are rules restricting freedom. The Big Brother system!

LjRamones YouTube uses a similar system. I'm sure Twitter and Facebook do as well. The United States isn't far from it because the second you do anything even remotely 'wrong' you are going to get unpersoned and people you know will distance themselves from you.

Candy10215 It’s happening right now in China, together with the universal surveillance tech the West is frantically buying from China

Are you ready? Let's earn some social credits! Btw, Huawei, you're AWESOME! 💕💕💕💕💕

1️⃣I am pretty sure “social credit” refers to “how much you love CCP” 2️⃣“more trust in society” by grading people, really 😑 3️⃣few years later, CCP might just has robots as citizens FreeUyghurs FreeTibetan StandWithHongKong

In China, there are no human rights and privacy. chinazi 5DemandsNot1Less FightForFreedomStandWithHongKong China_kills_Muslims China_is_terrorist

It’s totalitarian, when you don’t obey to government, you got low score and cannot even buy train ticket.

CCPChina want to control everything, so it destroys freedom of press, speech, religion, HumanRights etc. You can't hv yr own mind, u can only obey CCP, be obedient & listen to Xi's propaganda. Is it what a 'strong country' be like? This is just a totalitarian regime!

Don’t worry. They can always donate blood to gain some social credits. I wonder when they can donate their kidney to upgrade their membership.

Good luck to those still have faith in China and their gov. CCPcensorship

That’s already be real. BoycottChina

Excellent

HKer20682966 China_is_terrorist. Any new tech in CCP hands will safeguard & expand the regime first. See “1 belt 1 road” & Huawei 5G network? CCP ALWAYS want to be BOSS. They pretend to get along with Free World peacefully. The west must work tgt to pull down this tyranny regime soon.

Something like this should be implemented in India whoever go for riots damage public property can never avail benefits of public transportation.

Evil CCP utilizes this system to sort out dissidents and punish them! So terrible and disgusting! People become slaves!

Iamnottheonlyo3 Living in CCPChina is living in a very big jail. No matter physically or mentally. AnywhereButChina AnythingButChina

So since you are born, you will be examined and scored by CCP until you die. What a ridiculous life long examination! We do good bcoz of compassion and sympathy, not bcoz of the score!

My social credit would be so low, that I would be assassinated by Chinese spies, if I were subject to this so-called 'social credit system'... CHINAZI

TeresaW17993222 Who can deduct your score? Who enforce the credit rating system? Who can prosecute you? All rest in CCPChina They are holding the yardstick, the baton, the bullets, the arms. They can rewrite the Bible, they are the LORD StandWithHongKong FreeHongKong SOSHK

It is absolute a disgrace to human rights. UNHumanRights should speak something about this ⁉

Chairman Xi must have watched Minority Report

How dare you criticize the beloved CCP? -10000 points in your social credit account! antiCCP

001010110 Apropos, this linked video about China’s social credit system was preceded by an Allstate pre-roll commercial offering Americans discounts in exchange for providing them data about their driving habits.

The world should all boycott products from China for the evils things CCP has done AnywhereButChina BoycottChina

Absolute CHINAZI

CCP is Not treating the people as human beings. We should do everything possible to stop the human rights violating tyranny. Please boycott all products and brands from China. BoycottMadeInChina AnywhereButChina

To apply a job in western countries often time candidates need to have criminal/bankruptcy record checked. What a news when China does the same.

But if they pay insurance premiums they can scoot all over. Carbon feet.

Awful

Heard media talking about China social credit system all the time but why it’s not implemented in China?

Oh man surely this is a human rights infringement , criminal yes fine travel ban, social credit system sounds like manipulation of the people. China should also give Cambodia’s water back and it’s new internet rules are terrible. Fines and jail time for retweet’s !

Zulu18360299 Toutes les sociétés dites industrialisees font ça ou commencent à le faire. Aussi directement ou plus subtilement. 1984 ou Metropolis, quoi.

This is the direction the US is headed if we don't end the fascists in the White House.

TSChan55456481 That 's why we keep saying'stay away from tiktok '. All the apps from China must connect with CCP.

One of the most unbelievable things I’ve ever heard!

Is it 1984?

Sounds like fiction from Ray Bradbury or Geroge Orwell. No it is really happening.

Would you trust China ? I wouldn’t ⁉️ And HongKong doesn’t and they should know. Right? ☯️🌿⚖️🌐

7. in America, they waited for people to get killed, then they stood in front of mike and say they condemn the act. that's it. while people continue to get killed every day. where is the freedom to live without fear of getting shot? yet they are condemning China. hilarious

6. the only way to reverse extremism is thru re-education. the strict surveillance was to stop the third parties from getting to the Uyghurs again for the safety of the other citizens.

5. the Uyghurs murdered 191 Chinese and injured 1000 others in 2009. they were brainwashed by terrorists to launch attacks. those involved were re-educated becos terrorism is a mental problem. they are victims of a third party who brainwashed them.

4. they can go anywhere they want and migrate to other countries if they want. they can walk down the streets at 1am without having to worry about getting mugged, stabbed, raped or shot. they can eat a lot with very little money. they do not have to pay expensive bills.

3. on the other hand, Chinese citizens can say whatever they want amongst themselves, unless they use a loud speaker, stand in front of a crowd and start demonize the govt. they will be arrested for inciting the public. FYI, it is legal to protest in China.

2. the USA has discrimination against blacks and Asians. they even banned Muslims. they built high walls to keep immigrants out. reminds me of North Korea. their businessmen have to kowtow to the president. Americans are far from free

Americans think that they are free. they have more than half a million people still living in the streets. they have children getting shot almost every day. they have to pay a lot just to have a meal. they have to pay lots of bills to stay in their homes.

Yes this ghastly program came in a few years ago . They treat their Citizens like School Children . If you make enough mistakes even by Accident your Quality of Life is severely Diminished . One step above a criminal .

Its coming here soon.

It’s exactly an episode of black mirror

And these Leftists and Socialists want to push their agenda on us so this can happen in America one day? No thanks!

失信的寸步难行,公安留有案底。

This is very old news. Instead of acting surprised be outraged.

Los ‘corruptos’ en la China son ‘matriculados’ a la lista negra y así pierden su crédito social y los restringen en sus actividades comerciales, e.g, suspenden a viajar libremente, etc. China quiere mejorar su percepción internacional.

Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news

Interesting, someone who doesn't really know China always like to talk about China's issues.

Anita13599376 In the U.S., you simply land in a no fly list without any recourse

Anyone still wondering why the freedom fighters in Hong Kong are resisting these criminals?

Oh the liberals in America will love this idea ...

I can see there are good things from this also.

Where did all this BS to discredit China come from? Does not US and many countries uses credit checking and CCTV to monitor citizens? This report is utterly BS and double standard. Can see the elephant on the nose.

In the 21st century, everyone is living in surveillance, the difference is whether you know this and who is monitoring you (government, big company’s, Apps, personal...)

China is the biggest threat to the world.

How soon until we start emulating China w/our own psychometric indices such as, 1. “Social Credit Scores”; 2. “Political Correctness Scores”; 3. “Worthy Citizen Scores”; and, 4. “Physical Desirability Scores”? What other scales might there be?

America needs this, have you taken public transpo?

In the advanced world. it should be that 1.4 billion Chinese people monitor Xi' behavior to make sure he's qualified to serve back them. PDChina

Bring that to America

Hello Big Brother!

When you are living under surveillance it's bound to happen

Big Panda is watching. The left thinks Bill of Rights Trump is a problem. Strange priorities.

Do they win if they rebel? I hear the success rate is 99.8%.

Scary stuff in China. Big brother watching.

We had high school for that.

Google Chinese tourist on YouTube.

Waiting for Bernie Sanders to declare this as one of his socialist policies. Everyone better start working on their scores because socialist elites will determine what the factors are as they know best.

Would lack of transportation stop them from going to work

The CCCP is turn the whole of China into a prison camp.

But hey lets keep importing products from their country

“Big brother is watching”...what a nightmare 1984

Imagine Trumps score. He would be banned to a remote island.

But they are the largest potential consumer market for American goods...so please don't pay attention because there's money to be had.

Folks want action on climate change? Here you go.

A prelude to 1984

Excellent

Well, how efficient is that!? Paranoia is the mother of invention!

The best social credit is blind loyalty to the China Communist Party and to report subversion among your neighbors. This is just a cover for plain behavioural correction to control dissidents.

If you interfere with people’s transportation you’re affecting the economy by blocking trade and therefore commerce..

How is that different than the TSA? I have not fliwn this century to avoid being grouped.

Are you guys just realizing this?

I think it is a great idea. America can certainly use it. Now there is no accountability for shame.

5:09*

why you sending lows at 5am?

They still have citizen classes every week?

What you said should refer to Zhima credit which is a service provided by Alipay. So shut up and look into further truth. Thanks a lot.

The tech companies do that to us. We need a global populist revolution. Jack Dorsey, you hear me?
