“given the number of Chinese and other people around the world that don’t own cars”

Where’d you get the idea chinese don’t own cars? In 1972 when Nixon visited Bejing, the city was awash with folks on bicycles. Bicycles are outlawed in Bejing today.

I think the current figure is that only about 20 to 25% of the Chinese own cars. But you can go look it up if you like. Also something like 60% don’t have utilities in their homes. Etc. The most of china is a very undeveloped place.

Should have added that I was watching a dicover special about china, last month, they just got their first Mickey-d’s this year. They had to put one of the employees on the street to show the drivers how to go through the drive up windows. the customers would drive through and get their food , then they would park and go inside to eat.
