You mean flights specifically chartered by the US and British governments to evacuate their citizens and their family from Wuhan? It is all in the articles you linked.

It did not. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/05/trumps-flawed-china-travel...

One postal service from Hong Kong is a far cry from "all air transport to Wuhan"

Do you have a source for this?

So where are these videos?

It is an everybody thing, why else would the phrase enter popular usage.

Does NY Post have a source/reference for this?

Like most articles on social credit, it is mistaking a bunch of separate things as a single unified system. from https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/04/03/life-inside-chinas-soci... "Th…

The last one almost certainly refers to "forcibly occupying reserved seats" instead of doing it accidentally. For example, this incident, https://news.cgtn.com/news/3d3d514d7a457a4…

I'd love to know why people downvoted me with no explanation.

It is also worth noting that the Permanent Court of Arbitration is only in the Hague, it is not an UN agency, and not a court in the traditional sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

I think the bar for real-life dystopias are considerably higher these days.

So they should be less transparent?

If they are "shockingly cheap" and can be found in a street market, then they are probably not real.

It is not fabricated, it just wasn't accurately reported. Every article I read described it as a government system already implemented and measuring every aspect of your life, when…

The book is all well and good, but I would prefer to read an actual article about "allowing their bureaucrats free rein to terrorize local businesses and extract mob-style protecti…

How does the Chinese Government extracts wealth from Hong Kong? I am genuinely curious.
