China's EV-2W sales graph shows a peak in 2021 and then a declining trend in past few years. Curious to know what's happening there. I couldn't find any explanation in the article (admittedly I just skimmed).

My theory: China became richer and more developed. So:

(1) Public transport became better and some people shifted to it

(2) Some people upgraded to cars
