A comment on China ‘Is the Only One in the Race’ to Make Electric Buses, Taxis and Trucks. Parent comment

Driving a polluting car in China seems to be getting more expensive. That's why they do it less.
Driving a polluting car in, say, the US, is not getting more expensive, so they import those cars.
