China banned people with poor credit records from buying airline tickets 17.46 million times and purchasing train tickets 5.47 million times between October 2013 and December 2018, a spokesman said on Saturday.

Establishing the social credit system is an urgent matter that needs to be further strengthened and improved. People deeply resent those who lack credibility, but acts like fraud still exist, Guo Weimin, spokesman for the second session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said during a news conference.

"The State Council issued an outline to build a social credit system between 2014 and 2020. We have accelerated the establishment of the system based on the outline, including setting up a credit record inquiry system and integrating different credit record systems," he said.

CPPCC members - the country's political advisors - have raised many proposals on establishing the social credit system, which takes a long time to perfect. Also, the reward and punishment measures need to be further improved, Guo said.

"Our goal is to make it difficult for those with no credibility to move a single step and ensure those with good credibility enjoy green lights all the way," he said.
