I think to many Chinese people, being forced to do something that is perceived as for their own good is seen as a good thing. It's kind of in the Asian culture that the end justifies the means, as opposed to Western culture where you are free to do as you choose but you bear the consequences.
Not saying it's wrong, just a different perspective.

- kiba 7y agoThe government(s) were the ones who built the roads and mandated minimum parking lots.
- HillaryBriss 7y agoAbsolutely, you're right. I'm just wondering what would happen if the government reversed course.
