Hi, well it's interesting, BMW have a huge plant in the North in Shenyang and when I was working out there the Audi and Passat were getting popular and there is Buick, Import duty on luxury cars is very high. The pollution in China is horrendous for sure.

Just for interest, it's not that long ago China was receiving food aid and in Shanghai most factories had to close one day a week due to power shortages. Affluence comes at a price and the infrastructure often can't keep up. That being said 3/4 population can't afford a bike.
