@samuelszuchan: Every country punishes tourists who misbehave inside its borders. China does something completely different. China punishes its own citizens for how they behave outside its borders. It started with a string of viral humiliations. In 2013, a 15-year-old scratched "Ding Jinhao was here" into the wall of a 3,500-year-old temple in Luxor. The photo detonated at home as a national disgrace. A woman poured scalding instant noodles onto a flight attendant on an AirAsia plane out of Bangkok. Passengers brawled over a reclined seat on a flight from Cambodia to Chengdu. China's response was structural. A 2013 tourism law required citizens traveling abroad to respect local customs. In 2015, the tourism authority began keeping a formal blacklist of uncivilized travelers, publishing their names. They asked ordinary citizens to photograph bad behavior and send it in. Nine categories of conduct can land you on the list, with bans running from two to ten years. A blacklisted person's record gets shared with police, customs, border security, transportation agencies, and credit bureaus. The list grew to more than 670 names. Beijing's parks started screening visitors with facial recognition and barring anyone with a record of bad behavior. The Temple of Heaven park installed face scanners in its public restrooms to ration toilet paper, capping each face at a set length of tissue after officials decided theft had reached epidemic levels. Italy's quarrel with you ends at its border. China's quarrel with its own travelers has no border, because the traveler is treated as a moving piece of the country's reputation. The state pointed its surveillance apparatus at its own people, then projected it outward onto every airport they pass through.

In Germany you can get punished by your own government for things you've done outside Germany, if it's against domestic laws.

Derek Theisen :

we were told that in China the citizens were given a social report card. If yoy failed you lost certain benefits such as flying and had to take a train etc. Eventually it came out that this not true. I am going to be skeptical of this video until proven otherwise
