were you there when they had motorcycles creating traffic jams and horrible air quality?
use e bikes in bike lanes is your only option. but feel free to "escape" to bring the smog back to the US, just don't come to my area
I am no fan of having motorcycles in China either because they are noisy and dangerous because people drive badly. But your arguments make no sense. Do you even think before you post?
1. The main source of pollution in China are factories. Cars is also a significant source. Motorcycles is not even close.
2. Motorcycles take a lot less room and is obviously not the source of traffic jams.

Yes.
The amount of air pollution from the motorcycles was trivial compared to the factories, diesel buses and trucks, and low or nonexistent emission standards on cars, etc at the time.
Taking motorcycles off the road hasn't demonstrably improved traffic. It's still awful.
The one caveat I will say is that because most people in China are loathe to obey any traffic laws in the first place, it may have improved safety to some degree, but that's a function of society and not the vehicles themselves, and since you are unwaveringly pro-China/Chinese, probably not the concession you want to hear. Anyways, the proliferation of ebikes makes any safety increase moot.

In the big four cities, e-bikes aren't technically legal for use for private citizens, or at least, like many other things the laws are byzantine and purposely a grey area so that they can ban them or confiscate it from you at any given moment. Only registered delivery drivers are supposed to use them. In practice, of course, plenty of people do; I did. When we moved to Foshan, our ebike was legally registered and they legally allowed registration of motorcycles, because it's a smaller city.
And, the air was generally better.

Oh, I've already come back to the US and am happy to be back here, where even a "bad" smog day is better than a "good" smog day in a Chinese city Not sure where you live. Didn't you say Socal or something once?
Whoever made this statement is a moron and knows NOTHING about physics.

What they supposedly tested was an HGV (hypersonic glide vehicle) which has already been tested by Russia and was a success, the Avangard. As an example this can be launched using a ICBM into earth orbit and glide back to it's target at speeds up to Mach 27, which was the speed of Russias launched HGV. It can also fly around the earth and hit a target from any point of the compass at high velocities.
These things are not hard for technologically advanced countries to make, they're no mystery. In fact the USSR was well along on development in the 1970s. If this was in fact a HGV test I see it as another indicator Russia and China are working together and sharing technology.
I'm not going by the foaming at the mouth media and unidentified persons spewing 3rd grade level rumors either.
This video shut down every Chinese social media site because it offended Pooh bear. Read the subtitles and understand that "fragile pink" means mainland Chinese.
