[ExI] China's social credit system has blocked people from taking 11 million flights and 4 million train trips

[John Grigg]

   - *The social credit system is used to punish citizens for bad behavior
   with numerous blacklists preventing them from traveling, getting loans or
   jobs, or staying in hotels, and even by limiting internet access.*
   - *China intends to roll out a more comprehensive, national social
   credit system in 2020, which has gained comparisons to the show "Black
   Mirror."*
