People Should Not Be Encouraged to Buy Cars 李鸥 As more and more Chinese affluent families look forward to their dream of owning a car coming true, the Chinese government seems bent on encouraging people to buy cars, targeting the vehicle industry as a pillar of the economy and one of the key driving forces behind growth. Yet it is very likely that the government’s good wish may turn out to be the cause of a series of problems. First, the increase of cars in major cities will aggravate air pollution and road congestion. While the debate is going on about whether private car ownership should be encouraged, little attention is paid to the problems of pollution and congestion it will bring. In the Chinese cities, vehicles account for 45 to 60 per cent of nitrogen oxide and 85 per cent of carbon dioxide emissions. Studies show that cars on China’s roads do not meet even the minimum emission standards of Europe. If more cars appear on roads, city dwellers can expect to breathe in worse air, which is in large part caused by car fumes. Most roads in the Chinese cities are designed for bicycles and buses. They need improvement to accommodate more automobiles. However, the development of roads can hardly keep up with the increasing number of cars put on the roads. Sometimes, driving in the city is even slower than riding a bicycle. The streets are packed with vehicles bumper to bumper at rush hours. Traffic jam poses a big headache both to drivers and to the authorities. While people are urged to buy cars, there are no effective measures taken to deal with the congestion problem. Secondly, an upcoming car-purchasing craze can be harmful to the interests of the domestic car industry. Though China entered the WTO in 2001, the domestic car industry is presently no match for its overseas competitors. What the local carmakers, mostly state-owned, urgently need to do is to streamline their management and structure. Yet this takes time. Moreover, China’s import tariff will be lowered by a quarter this year. It is no good news for the local carmakers, for it means that overseas car-making giants’ access to the Chinese market will be greatly facilitated. When people swarm for Polos or Toyotas, The Chinese car companies that have not yet got ready will be hopelessly pushed to the sideline, or even to bankruptcy. All in all, now in China, private car ownership should not be encouraged.
