Great nations like USA, Australia are the heaviest polluters. When these countries are asked to reduce pollution and thus lead by examples, they start whining about consequences of their "fragile" economy, inconvenience... bla bla bla... Now China is showing the world they are doing something. If there is a will, there is a way. Despite the criticism, I think it is a great move from China to do this.

As i know, whole beijing only allow 1000bike. remaining is carsss.... so, there are lots of cars. Terrible traffic jam after office hour. much worst than Bkt bintang after work. Fortunately, there are good pedestrian walking path at both side of the main road. very convenient if you wan to walk or cycle. And enjoy the traffic jam scenary.. haha. main cause of beijing traffic jam... 1) very stupid traffic light system. lots of cars stuck at the centre of the junction, and causing massive jam at all direction. 2) stupid driver to cause massive jam, by running into red light and get themself stuck in junction, and block others cars coming in other direction. if they can improved the junction, and punish those stubborn driver.. beijing city will be a great place to drive. they driving lane is big, few lane, and the road conditionis excellent quality. i been to beijing before for 2 week…
