Social credit score? WTF does this mean? Criticize a politician or disapproval of a govt or business policy?
"Other similar offenses????" such as "Not let people have access to banks?"

The statement is partially true; China has restricted some citizens from flying, but it is not a universal requirement for all who want to fly to be in "good social standing" in a unified system. Flight bans are applied to individuals who have been placed on specific blacklists for offenses like failing to pay court-ordered judgments or not meeting certain legal obligations, rather than a comprehensive "social credit score" for the entire population. Millions have been impacted, but it's a consequence of specific legal and financial violations, not a general lifestyle or social score.
  • Specific blacklists: The flight bans are primarily for people who have failed to fulfill specific legal obligations, such as not paying fines, not adhering to court judgments, or other similar offenses.
  • Not a single score: There isn't a single, unified social credit score that dictates a person's ability to fly. The system involves multiple blacklists for different types of violations, notes Wikipedia.
  • Millions affected:Millions of people have been prevented from flying or taking high-speed trains, but this is a result of being on these specific blacklists
