According to the column graph, motor car ownership in China in 1987 was quite low as less than 30 cars were owned by per thousand Chinese. In 1989, it crossed 50 cars ownership per thousand Chinese people and this trend continued in the next years. Then, in 1991, every ten people owned a vehicle on an average and this number kept on increasing in the following years. In 1995, 200 cars were owned by a thousand Chinese.
