Switching their population to electric scooters, and creating a gigantic electric scooter industry along the way, was one of China's biggest innovation successes.

Now, one in three Chinese cities outright ban any form of two wheeled transportation... because commie lardasses want to "Live Like in America ®"

According to them, everybody are to be riding chauffeured Mercedes S600 limos to demonstrate the wealth and affluence of Chinese nation so, god forbids, no passing by foreigner will ever come to an idea that locals don't have money to buy a car.

Sounds completely bizarre, but it is indeed what laws of many Chinese municipalities actually say.

* Note: what I mean under scooters are light electric mopeds capable keeping up with cars.
