The "e-Bicycles" and the Pandemic
In 2002, the Beijing government announced: Based on the city’s actual conditions and long-term transportation development strategy, the city has decided not to promote the use of the ”e-bicycles“.
What happened the following year?
We all know.
In 2019, the Chinese Communist Party government announced a “full-chain” crackdown on the "non-compliant e-bicycles".
What happened the following year?
We know that, too.
Well: Once is an accident; twice is a coincidence.
What about the third times?
