Could something similar be done with other languages as well, say Simplified Chinese?

Purely conjecture here as I'm not sure on the specifics of the rental system but surely there is some measure of accountability in operation?

I was under the impression that by scanning a qr code it registered the rental to your account, hence discouraging bad actor behaviour with the potential punishments for discarding or hoarding a bicycle that those actions would incur in fines etc.

If not, how difficult could this type of measure be to implement?

These principles also have important political ramifications which were detailed in a recent article sharing almost this exact title: https://thedaleyreview.wordpress.com/2017/01/08/transparency...
