I was thinking that the United States has basically become this nowadays: a country where you're not allowed to leave. But aside from that, is North Korea the only country in the world where citizens are generally not permitted to go out? Once you're in, you're there for good?

I think China does that too, on the basis that there are a lot of people who would much rather leave.

chinese people study abroad. you can leave china. the really poor people who probably most want to leave, can't. but it is possible for middle class and rich chinese to leave. the chinese are a new emerging international tourist group in the world.

That makes sense. I recall what made me consider this is China's Social Credit System.

If the government decides you haven't been behaving, you can get your license denied, as well as being able to take flights, among a dystopian amount of other things.

I always thought that Deus Ex Revolution had a good idea of China's Future if it keeps continuing on the Dystopian course.

Considering how much they treat their people like shit.

I think some North Koreans can leave...like for certain events. Not everyone. Just particular people. But pretty sure if you try to leave on your own...they'll torture you...

Theyll shoot you on sight, actually, if talking about a physical border exit attempt.
