Scofflaws face blacklist in Guangzhou for ignoring regulations

The city government of Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has passed a draft regulation that aims to blacklist tax dodgers, passengers who hog seats on high-speed trains and other scofflaws.

Under the draft, people would be penalized if they delay paying utility bills, disrupt normal operation of hospitals or cheat on examinations organized by the city.

The city reviewed and passed the draft credit information regulation in an executive meeting to improve ethical standards in the city.
