Chinese ban motorcycles in city centre

[dickytoo]

Ah, the Chinese obsession with telling people what to do.

Obviously not like western countries like NZ and the good old USof A where you can't say certain things out loud because of PC attitudes or the patriot act.

not saying banning M/cycles is the right thing to do but the above generalisation needs to be challenged.

... the above generalisation needs to be challenged.

Gimme a break.

Ask your average mainlaind Chinese citizen what they think about individualism as opposed to the oppressive conformity rampant in their society, and they'll just stare at you blankly.

The notable difference in 'PC' Western countries is that there are plenty of people who say and do what they like anyway.

Yep. it's obviously the motorcycles that are responsible for views as in the attached picture!

After seeing the pollution first-hand in Guangzhou I really can't see how China is going to escape an environmental disaster on a scale never seen before in the next decade or so.
