22 分钟Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is Round Table.
For years, shared bikes have been the quiet workhorse
of Chinese cities, cheap, convenient, and everywhere.
But they've also been a bit of a mess,
dumped on sidewalks, abandoned in piles,
broken and forgotten on occasion,
or simply missing entirely when you actually need one.
This September, though, regulators finally said, "Enough."
A new national standard for internet-based rental bicycles
has been approved,
and for the first time, it puts everything in one document:
who companies can hire, how they train them,
and what bikes they're allowed to put on the street,
as well as how they handle your data
and who's responsible when things go wrong.
So, what's actually in the standard,
and will it finally clean up the chaos,
or is this just some more paperwork?
First up.
