Abstract
The number of privately owned cars in the Peoples' Republic of China grew at a rate of 69 percent during the first three quarters of 2003. Fast growth of the transportation sector provides cause for optimism on behalf of U.S. and Chinese car producers, yet reason for concern regarding rapidly increasing emissions of climate-changing greenhouse gases.
