Yeah I suppose it's true that a system which has only "blocked more than 11.14 million flights and 4.25 million high-speed train trips by the end of April [2018]" http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1103262.shtml http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1103262.shtml is not "real".
Chinese high-speed rail carries more than a billion passengers per year ( http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/1110/c90000-9291147.html http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/1110/c90000-9291147.html ).
If vastly fewer than 1% of rides are affected by the so-called social credit blacklist, is it a real thing?
Personally I have been disappointed that the commentators are making the "Black Mirror" comparisons without carrying the reference further back to Cory Doctorow's "Whuffie".
