| Sep 6, 2023 at 15:35 | comment | added | Jamin Grey | Japan did something similar to what you are describing - preventing peasants from moving between regions (both travel and for residency). It was instituted after the end of the Sengoku period, where Japan fractured into separate warring kingdoms. After it ended and the empire reconsolidated. Peasants were permanently banned from travelling too far from their home village. I don't know the full reason, but the impression I got was to prevent the formation of new armies that'd challenge the state, and control the flow of information and isolate discontent. | |

| Sep 6, 2023 at 6:37 | comment | added | quarague | That is the key point. Travelling to Shanghai or Shenzen is open to almost everyone (ie unless you are on some kind of police watch list or something like that). Living there legally however is restricted. You can't easily move your residence to another city or region. | |
