China uses nationwide ‘scoring’ system to keep millions of people with ‘low scores’ from traveling and maybe....buying real estate!

In 2014, China launched its “social credit system'. It is a system where all Chinese are being scored based on their social behaviour.  It is potentially a drastic way to monitor the Chinese population. According to CBS News, almost 11 million Chinese citizens are no longer allowed to travel via airlines, and 4 million citizenss are not permitted to travel by train.  

The system rates people on their behavior, everything from breaking laws and failing to pay fines to what someone posts on the internet. The program will be fully implemented for every Chinese citizen by 2020.

And maybe soon...Chinese will have to behave properly before they will be able to buy real estate!
