Do Chinese Dream of Electric Cars?

Beijing? Shanghai? Guangzhou? Thirty years time? Think *'Bladerunner'. Despite being optimistic about the future of China and ultimately the powerful nation it will become/becoming, this ultimately will bring out the diverse problems of capitalism (not democracy, not unlike the USA). China is one of the oldest cultures/peoples that have survived over the least few millenia and this is another step in it's 'evolution'. This time though, will be one which will change the dynamics of the planet in at least the next 100 years. It is a brave old world...

Two photos taken in Beijing. One of propaganda slogan and one of a homeless man.
