Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I have updated it at the bottom of the article.
To clarify, I intended to write about this in this post initially, but somehow got carried away by the original document, so it ended up being just a walk through of the original document without the new additions and measures.
I think it does make sense to add additional information like this to the post to make it more complete and up-to-date.
Update:
found the original source (in Chinese) in case anyone is interested: http://www.chinatax.gov.cn/n810341/n810755/c3359637/content.html http://www.chinatax.gov.cn/n810341/n810755/c3359637/content....
2nd Update:
It appears that Reuters made a mistake in their reporting, the ban is only for planes, not trains, according to the official document I linked above.
If anyone knows to get Reuters to correct its article, please let me know!
- wholien 8y agoyeah, I did a little summary in my comment below if anyone is interested
- paraditedc 8y agoReuters is correct. See my comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18261549 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18261549
- rahimnathwani 8y agoThe Reuters journalist said: - there are multiple documents about the social credit system, not just from the tax bureau - people have definitely been banned from high speed rail - two official docs from NDRC confirm this (I haven't received links to the docs yet, but will reply to this comment when I do)
- paraditedc 8y agoYes, you are right. There are 2 sources from NDRC on this. So Reuters is correct in their reporting. I've found the them on NDRC website: http://www.ndrc.gov.cn/zcfb/zcfbtz/201803/t20180316_879618.html http://www.ndrc.gov.cn/zcfb/zcfbtz/201803/t20180316_879618.h... http://www.ndrc.gov.cn/gzdt/201803/t20180316_879653.html http://www.ndrc.gov.cn/gzdt/201803/t20180316_879653.html I've updated the links in my post as well. It would have saved me and them the trouble if Reuters actually provided the sources.
- rahimnathwani 8y ago"It would have saved me and them the trouble if Reuters actually provided the sources." If we want them to do this, we need to start telling them. To anyone interested in seeing Reuters start including links to sources, a good first step is to email: brian.moss@thomsonreuters.com He handles enquiries about reporting standards. EDIT: removed first paragraph, which I pasted in error from a chat message.
- paraditedc 8y agoHi, I read your first paragraph a few times and I am not still not sure what you mean. Can you explain a bit?
- rahimnathwani 8y agoSorry, I pasted the info from a chat message and, after adding some text, didn't fully remove the rest of the context. I've edited my comment and removed that part.
