China issues 17.46 million bans on individuals with bad credit from taking flights

 

Social credit system resolves 'tens of millions' of debt-related cases: court report

 

China has made great progress in building a national social credit system in recent years, having handled millions of cases and issued millions of travel bans on people with bad social credit, official statistics showed.

 

As of the end of 2018, Chinese courts nationwide had issued verdicts on 12.88 million cases of individuals and entities with bad social credit. This action led to 17.46 million bans on individuals from taking flights and 5.47 million bans on taking high-speed train, according to a report the Supreme People's Court of China (SPC) released on Wednesday.

 

These penalties are an important part of China's push for a national system, said Li Junhui, a professor at the China University of Political Science and Law.

 

"The market economy is based on contracts. Those who break contracts are duly punished through a connected social network. This arrangement promotes economic development," Li told the Global Times on Thursday.

China warns party members to stick to Marx, not 'ghosts and spirits'

 

China's ruling Communist Party warned party members to stick to Marx and Lenin and not believe in "ghosts and spirits" or practice "liberalism", in the latest effort to root out superstitious practices and further tighten party control.

 

China officially guarantees freedom of religion for major belief systems such as Christianity, Buddhism and Islam, but party members are meant to be atheists and are especially banned from participating in what China calls superstitious practices such as visiting soothsayers.

 

There have been numerous scandals in recent years where senior party members have been accused of involvement in superstition.

 

A lengthy statement on how best to strengthen the party's role and its leadership, issued on the official Xinhua news agency on Wednesday, said Marxism was the guiding thought for China and the party."Resolutely prevent not believing in Marx and Lenin and believing in ghosts and spirits, not believing in the truth and believing in money," the party statement said.

 

"Resolutely oppose all forms of mistaken thought that distorts, misrepresents or negates Marxism," it said.

 

President Xi Jinping said last year the party's decision to stick with the political theories of Karl Marx remained "totally correct". He was marking the 200th anniversary of the German philosopher's birth.
