This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Here is an article that is not from a pro-Beijing media:

The video in that article is hilarious.
Straight from Wall-E.
These restrictions are such a shame. Back when I lived in China, people used to ride 3-wheeled electric bikes/wagons (三轮车) but they were banned by the government for being “unsafe”. The thing is everything is significantly closer to home than here in the US. My family would all pile in the back and ride around running errands, getting dropped off at school, going to friend’s homes in that bike. When those were banned, we had to get a car and more 2 wheeled electric bikes to accommodate the loss of our single 3 wheeled electric bike. Even then, we mostly used our electric bikes to get around town. I used to ride 35 minutes on my electric bike to get to school every day. These restrictions make long distance travel on electric bikes just that much more difficult and pushes more people to buy cars. It’s funny how China has been pushing for years to become more like the US in every way except for human rights SMH

Fuck China and all but I really wouldn't use the US as a human rights goal post right now.
We’re not arresting and harvesting organs from unwanted religious groups. We have our problems, but we’re nowhere close the hellhole of China
I think he means he shouldn't have mentioned the US cause it's one of the countries with the worst reputation regarding human rights.
The biggest prison population of any country, and they’re used for slave labor.
You’re not doing THIS specific thing you mentioned, but there are lots of other bad things you’re doing. The US is to human rights like Syria is to peace and safety.
The US is much closer to China than you think. But it’s hard to see when you’re in the US, because of all the propaganda you’re exposed to when living there.
One step closer to living in Wall-e
Now this is some juicy malicious compliance
Wall-e gets closer by the day
Laziness, uh, finds a way.
If they were in a car, would they still be lazy?
From the article….. Some lawyers in China reportedly said that although the action is not illegal, the use of electric wheelchairs by healthy people raises moral concerns.
Having no morals is finally catching up with them. After CCP solve this one maybe they can get to work on people dragnetting our oceans
I'm physically disabled and I need a wheelchair when I need to go a distance.
Its kinda shitty that they are ruining things for those that need it.
What's next? Buying a cane to use at the airport so they can board first?
They're not ruining anything.
