The Social Credit System (社会信用) is a system of rewards and punishments in the People's Republic of China.
Blacklists
People may be blacklisted for disobeying court orders or not paying back debt despite being able to. Blacklisted people may not be able to take government jobs, send their children to private school, book flights, or ride in the most comfortable compartments of trains. The most common way to get off a blacklist is to repay debt, but some people can also be delisted by making a formal apology.[1]
Redlists
The opposite of blacklists are redlists, which reward people for good behavior such as paying bills or taxes on time, donating blood, or doing volunteer work. Redlisted individuals have prioritized job applications and receive discounts, coupons, and free tourist accommodations.[1]
