The middle school kids are getting in on the act:
This increase in income has lead to more cars in China. Where you would have seen mostly bikes a few years before now you see cars. In some places bikes have been outlawed on the streets. More cars lead to an increase in oil demand.
...
China’s oil consumption is rivaling the US overall consumption. China’s increased demand has increased oil prices to an alarming high. Gas prices in the U.S. have risen to $3.50 a gallon. It will rise again soon. If China would allow bikes back in all places, maybe it would lower the use of cars.
