Core Viewpoint - The necessity for comprehensive and thorough cancellation of car purchase restrictions and large-scale traffic control policies in major cities has become increasingly prominent, suggesting a shift from purchase management to usage management at the national level [4][10][11]. Group 1: Current Situation of Car Purchase Restrictions - Major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, and Hangzhou have implemented car purchase restrictions to alleviate traffic congestion and air pollution, which has been effective in slowing the growth of car ownership [2][5]. - The implementation of these policies has provided time and space for cities to enhance transportation infrastructure, optimize urban layouts, and improve traffic management [2][5]. Group 2: Improvements in Urban Traffic and Environmental Capacity - The traffic and environmental carrying capacity of major cities has significantly improved, with the market share of new energy vehicles (NEVs) gradually increasing, reducing the necessity for car purchase restrictions [5][6]. - Cities have adopted various measures, such as prioritizing public transport and enhancing infrastructure, which have led to a notable improvement in traffic congestion and air quality [6][8]. Group 3: International Experience and Governance Requirements - International experiences indicate that major cities in developed countries do not impose car purchase restrictions but instead focus on optimizing urban space and improving traffic management [7][8]. - The central government's requirements for modernizing governance systems and capabilities suggest that simple car purchase restrictions are inconsistent with broader governance goals [8][19]. Group 4: Economic Development and Domestic Demand Expansion - The current economic focus on expanding domestic demand contradicts the implementation of car purchase restrictions, which hinder the automotive industry's growth and the overall economy [11][18]. - The automotive industry plays a crucial role in driving domestic demand, and the limitations imposed by purchase restrictions are misaligned with national economic strategies [11][18]. Group 5: Legal Basis and Reform Requirements - The legal basis for car purchase restrictions has been controversial, and such policies are seen as a forced intervention in consumer behavior, conflicting with the principles of a fair market environment [19][20]. - The need for a more equitable market environment necessitates the removal of car purchase restrictions to align with legal and governance reforms [20][21].
