Official report counts 17.46 million flight bans and 5.47 million high-speed rail bans

People's Daily reported on 3 March 2019 that Chinese courts had imposed 17.46 million flight bans and 5.47 million high-speed rail bans by the end of 2018. It cited a Supreme People's Court report released on 27 February. The figures count bans, not distinct people. The report also said 3.51 million delinquent debtors had repaid debts to avoid credit penalties. The illustrative photograph shows a CRH380A high-speed train.
