> Some provinces play a recorded message when someone tries to call a blacklisted debtor, informing the caller that the person they want to speak with has outstanding debts. And in May, a short cartoon with the photographs of debtors' faces began playing at movie theatres, on buses, and on public noticeboards with a voiceover that said: "Come, come, look at these [debtors]. It's a person who borrows money and doesn't pay it back."

Assuming that's being reported accurately...wow.

Although I'm always led to wonder to what extent the facts in articles like this are exaggerated in order to portray one of the US's main global competitors in a negative light.
