=v= There has been an increase in motor vehicle use, which
the American press has portrayed in negative, fearful ways
(which they've never done about an increase in American motor
vehicle use, go figure). Typical of you to zero in on the
fear and notice nothing else.
=v= But in fact the bicycle remains #1 in China even with
the recent increase in car ownership, and the transportation
infrastructure reflects that fact much better than America's.

=v= Again, typical of you to present "reasons" for something
that's not really happening in the way you think that it is.
