The city of Shenzhen has been bustling lately. On the one hand, the local government has stepped up its control over personal electric vehicles, and seized and confiscated these "lawbreakers" on a large scale.
On the other hand, they are frantically launching shared electric vehicles all over the city, as if they are competing with themselves. What is the motivation behind this? What is the logic behind it? Let's unravel the mystery together.
To put it bluntly, this approach is really smack-dropping. How can a city's decision-makers be so inconsistent and lack unified planning and execution?
On the one hand, it suppresses personal electric vehicles and increases the weight layer by layer on the grounds of "occupying the road"; On the other hand, a large number of shared electric vehicles have been introduced, adding new competitors to the limited road resources. This kind of behavior makes people laugh and doubt the rationality and professionalism of the entire decision-making process.
What's even more puzzling is that the originally slightly congested roads have now turned into so many "exclusive areas" for these colorful shared electric vehicles. Where did these areas come from? Are they once again taking up the space that pedestrians should be able to pass through? Isn't this the same and outrageously inconsistent?
It is not difficult to see that there is some hidden chain of interests lurking behind this. Perhaps it is the collusion between some shared electric vehicle operators and the local government that will cause such an unreasonable phenomenon; Or perhaps, there are contradictions within some branches of the government that are difficult to reconcile. In any case, this cannot hide the absurdity of this decision.
But interestingly, even with such outrageous practices, there are still some who stand up to defend it. They believe that the emergence of shared electric vehicles can alleviate the problem of road occupation caused by personal electric vehicles, after all, a shared car can serve many people. This argument may sound plausible, but sadly, it is not.
As we know from the feedback of netizens, there are a series of unsatisfactory problems in the sharing electric vehicle itself. High fees, narrow operating scopes, bulky vehicles themselves, etc., all greatly reduce their use value.
It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to replace personal electric vehicles with such an inferior shared service. Instead, the city's public resources are squandered, giving the impression that the authorities are fooling the people.
What's even more infuriating is that after these shared electric vehicle problems were exposed, the relevant departments even began to retaliate against "rights protection". When some users complained, they even claimed that these shared electric vehicles were "illegally launched" and demanded that they be towed away immediately. What is the intention of this? Is it trying to whitewash the peace and cover up one's own mistakes in this way?
After careful consideration, it is not difficult for us to find that the hidden interest game behind this farce is far more complex than imagined. Perhaps some large enterprises are monopolizing the shared market and making huge profits from it; Perhaps it is the result of interdepartmental power struggles within the government; Or perhaps, it is the interweaving of capital and power that has plunged the whole city into a puzzle.
But what is certain is that this practice is undoubtedly trampling on the interests of the people, regardless of the purpose. On the one hand, the control of personal electric vehicles directly affects people's travel convenience; On the other hand, the emergence of shared electric vehicles is endless, but it has brought a lot of chaos.
In such a situation, ordinary citizens are undoubtedly caught between a dilemma, unable to make full use of personal electric vehicles, and difficult to rely on shared electric vehicles. This is the result of the government's inaction and inaction.
What's even more ironic is that even if they finally choose to share electric vehicles, users have encountered many puzzling problems. From the high cost of the vehicle to the limited scope of operation to the bulkiness of the vehicle itself, all the drawbacks are invariably constrained by those who want convenience.
Even when they tried to report it to the relevant departments, they were hit by a "one-pot end". In such a situation, how can shared electric vehicles bring tangible benefits to the general public?
What is even more incredible is that the local government is still accustomed to this and turns a blind eye. What are they thinking? Is it a conscientious duty to defend the public interest, or is it an ulterior conspiracy? In any case, such an approach has completely lost the trust and approval of the people.
Perhaps, behind all this, there is some dark side that we cannot imagine. Perhaps it was the collusion of certain interest groups that caused the whole city to fall into a state of confusion; Or the power struggle within government agencies has deprived the decision-makers of basic rationality and fairness. Whatever the reason, the result is so outrageous.
Under such circumstances, how should we, as ordinary people, deal with ourselves? Should we continue to swallow our anger and passively accept these absurd decisions? Or should we stand up bravely and speak up for our own rights and interests? Or perhaps, a better way is to exert pressure on the government through various channels to urge them to re-examine the rationality of these decisions.
In any case, we all have a responsibility to defend our rights and maintain the direction of the city's development. If even basic mobility is not guaranteed, how can we talk about other aspects of citizen well-being?
Let us work together and call on the government to take a more rational and responsible approach to this thorny issue. Only when the decision-makers truly put the interests of the people first can these outrageous and absurd practices be truly eliminated and cities revitalized.
The outcome of this farce is still undecided, so let's wait and see what kind of surprises the city will have in store.
