implying China allowed the flights to leave so they can infect the rest of the world, when in fact China did stop international flights from leaving, but the US, UK governments lobbied hard for these repatriation flights due to their own domestic politics.

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.

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...

"The public blacklist has been incorporated by another incarnation of the social credit system — Zhima Credit, a service of the mobile payment provider Alipay. China has a huge mobile payment market, with transactions totaling $5.5 trillion in 2016, compared with $112 billion in the United States. Alipay, owned by Ant Financial, and WeChat Pay dominate the still-growing Chinese market.

Zhima Credit is an optional service embedded in Alipay that calculates users’ personal credit based on data such as spending history, friends on Alipay’s social network, and other types of consumer behavior. Zhima Credit’s technology director controversially told the Chinese magazine Caixin in 2015 that buying diapers, for example, would be considered “responsible” behavior, while playing video games for hours could be counted against you.

Hu Tao, Zhima Credit’s general manager, paints a different picture now. She says the app doesn’t monitor social media posts “nor does it attempt to measure qualitative characteristics like character, honesty, or moral value.” Zhima Credit is not a pilot for the social credit system and doesn’t share data with the government without users’ consent, she says."

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/3d3d514d7a457a4e79457a6333566d54/...

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

The references linked in the article specifically mentions smoking on trains and planes.

The devil is always in the detail.

The "buying too many video games" line came from the gamification aspect of a social network owned by a private enterprise and has nothing to do with the government scheme. And even they have backpedaled from that claim:

"Hu Tao, Zhima Credit’s general manager, paints a different picture now. She says the app doesn’t monitor social media posts “nor does it attempt to measure qualitative characteristics like character, honesty, or moral value.” Zhima Credit is not a pilot for the social credit system and doesn’t share data with the government without users’ consent, she says."

And the "posting fake news online" line actually refers to "spreading false information about terrorism" which quite a bit more serious.
