I am fully aware that China is not an admirable country in many ways. The Chinese execute even more people that the U.S., dissidents disappear, and pollution and worker safety laws are often ignored. On the other hand, China does have that one-child policy that not only helps China, but the entire globe.
Here's another admirable Chinese policy. The government has decided that the Chinese are buying too many cars. According to an article in the September 5 New York Times, Lu Shize, director of air pollution control at the Ministry of Environmental Protection, said "...for the auto industry to develop, we should not try to sell more, but to improve the units sold."
The Chinese government has decided to emphasize fuel savings and technical progress rather than boosting sales.
