In the end of 2015, China had 170.000 of the 173.000 ebuses circulating in the World. That's right, 98% of them were in zooming in The Big Red Giant, which i think says it all about the role of that country on the change happening towards eMobility.

[...] Just focusing on all-electric Buses, sales grew to 115.700 units in 2016, which represents some 20% market share, with Yutong still in the lead, followed by BYD and Nanjing.with the first growing 36% YoY and the second more than 50%.

With this kind of growth and market share, it is expected that China goes all-electric in this category in less than 10 years, maybe five, so it is no wonder that large cities like Shenzen are already envisioning an all-electric 15.000 fleet of Buses...In 2017.

    And how wise are your democratic governments nowadays?

    The reason the democracy is stable:
    - "None of us is as dumb as all of us"

    Consequently, in democracy, any of us will agree with a suboptimal compromise only because one can blame all the faceless others (evidently, all the others must be dumber than oneself to vote the wrong choice) and can continue to dream how well the world would be if all the others would admit the dumbness.

    By contrast, in totalitarian regimes, you can always assign a blame when the things go wrong (but beware of "1984").
