Updated blacklist issued for travel

China has issued an updated blacklist that restricts 504 more people from some forms of air and rail travel. Those added to the list committed transportation and financial offenses, government sources said.

The measures are part of an ongoing campaign to improve behavior, toughen sanctions on wrongdoers and enhance public security and order.

The government first issued a blacklist for transportation and securities trading violators on June 1, with 169 individuals appearing on list. Now there are 673 who are restricted from some forms of air and rail travel.
