China Goes Car Crazy
In late April, as authorities in Beijing mobilized tocontain the SARS virus, 33 -yearold Li Yangclimbed into her red Suzuki Alto and headed west.Slipping out of the city hours ahead of a governmentquarantine 1, she" just kept going to see how far I could get. "Six days and 1, 600 miles later,she arrived in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital. Thrilled and exhausted, she posted a notice on theInternet, documenting her adventure with digital photos and appealing for a companion toshare the drive home.
For centuries such freedom of movement has been unimaginable in China . In feudal times,poverty, bad roads, and imperial edict confined subjects of the Middle Kingdom to thevillages where they were born. Now all that is changing. After nearly a quarter century ofeconomic liberalization, car ownership is suddenly within reach of millions of ordinary Chinese.As incomes rise, new car prices plummet2, and the government adds new roadways, China's 1. 3 billion inhabitants are eager to trade their bicycles for a faster set of wheels. In 2002passenger car sales topped one million for the first time. In the first six months of first year ( 2003 ), China's new car sales surge 85% over the same period last year.
The profusion of cars has launched a new cultural revolution, transforming Chinese life andsociety in ways that bear surprising resemblance to what happened in American 50 years ago.The most obvious change is the traffic. Beijing's broad boulevards are now choked with cars atrush hour. In Shanghai the bridges and tunnels crossing the Huangpu River are so congestedthat a cab ride from one side to the other can be an hour-long ordeal. To prevent gridlock, theShanghai city government auctions a limited number of new car license plates each month.Nevertheless, demand has soared, driving the minimum successful bid to more than 4, 000 .Even with these restrictions, the number of gas-guzzling vehicles on Chinese roads ismultiplying so fast it poses a grave threat to the environment and could reshape the globaleconomics of oil.
Beijing now boasts the drive-in3 movie theaters. Prospering yuppie4 SUV5 owners bandtogether of off-road excursions to the Great Wall. Some have organized weekend drag races.The newsstands display a riot of motor magazines, where readers can ogle domestic andimport models. Private -car ownership has spawned a new class of commuters, 162 too, whomotor to downtown office towers from spacious, modern homes in the suburbs.
" I enjoy the drive, "says the manager for a Dutch food additives company, of the 30-minut-tripto his office in central Shanghai. He lives with his wife and infant son in a gated communitywith a familiar name : Long Island. The grounds are immaculately landscaped, and the homescome in French, Italian, and English Tudor model."It would be probably be cheaper to ride ataxi every day, "he confides."But this way I have more freedom. "
