Was it still significantly more Maoist and old fashioned than today or was it already pretty materialistic and Westernized? Did bikes still outnumber cars in 1999?
Answer
The Chinese GDP per capita was only 300 dollars in 1990.
In 2013, it's 8,271 by nominal exchange rate, and 12,472 by PPP (i.e. purchasing power parity).
Total GDP in China was only 200 billion dollars in 1990, in 2013 it's 9,372 billion dollars.... or 9.372 TRILLION DOLLARS.
In the 1990s, no Chinese own cars, in 2013, car ownership in urban area is UNIVERSAL. The Chinese buy 0 cars in 1990, they buy 20 MILLION in 2013.
In the 1990s, there was no express ways in China, in 2013, The Chinese express way (or highway) system EXCEEDED US INTERSTATE HIGHWAY BY 30% ! OR 97,234 KM, THE US HAS 78,281 KM.
In the 1990s, China was not industrialized, industrial output is lower than Canada... In 2013, THE CHINESE INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT IS 48% HIGHER THAN UNITED STATES. (Notice, United States is 15 times the size of Canada, in terms of Industrial output).
In the 1990s, traveling in China by train was miserable, it's no better than India... In 2013, The Chinese mainly take high speed trains that travel more than 300km/hr, in 1990, there were 0 km high speed raillines in China, in 2013, 70% of high speed raillines in the world are in China.
In 1990s, No Chinese travel abroad for tourism... In 2012 alone, 85 million Chinese have gone to foreign countries for recreation purposes, and spent 112 billion dollars abroad for tourism ! THE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD, OUTSTRIP THE DISTANT SECOND ... US BY 43% !
Literally 900 million Chinese people were lifted out of poverty because of CHINESE GROWTH.
The difference is HUGE, and remarkable to say the least. Look how far they have gone !
@WNL: YOU COULDN'T BE MORE BITTER, The very fact that negative news about China are freely reportable within China BY Chinese media shows degree of freedom is greatly improving in the country IN THE FIRST PLACE ! PERIOD !
@Liu: WRONG ! If only those who are connected with the government can get rich, how come 900 MILLION WERE LIFTED OUTTA POVERTY? ARE YOU SAYING THERE'RE 900 MILLION CHINESE WHO HAVE SPECIAL CONNECTIONS WITH THE GOVERNMENT??? ! PREPOSTEROUS ! BE PROUD, LIU, YOU ARE ALSO CHINESE, BE PROUD, AND BE A MAN !
@Sense: YOU REALLY HAVE NON-SENSE. Back in 1978, 95% of Chinese population lived under 2 dollars a day, in 2013, only 7.8% live under 2 dollars a day, in effect more than 900 MILLION WERE LIFTED OUTTA POVERTY. YOU JUST CAN'T DENY THE TRUTH.
@FREAKLY: Haters are always gonna be haters, I'm not gonna argue with you, it's very very sad that you choose to be a self-hating Chinese whereas actually trying to make the world a better place. RIP.

Red colored strip on the on-board camera of the teams' first drivers are gone?
entwined
If you noticed, the teams first drivers' red strip on their on-board cameras are gone. Only the yellow ones on the second drivers are there. Any ideas on why is that? In my opinion, red and yellow is more ideal for better distinguishing of the cars.
