Night bike rides put spoke in traffic flow wheel

Recently, night rides to Kaifeng have become a popular trend among university students in China.

The situation escalated on the night of November 8, when traffic congestion caused by the student cyclists led to temporary roadblocks and the closure of certain routes by the Zhengzhou police.

By November 9, officials in Kaifeng had called on students to avoid riding in large groups, reminding them that "youth needs passion but also safety."
 
I once had an $80 (USD) bowl of Ramen. It had a few ounces of black truffles and pork belly. Momofuku don’t mess around. It was worth it…even if I didn’t bike there.

Just the date, perhaps? Rides have been going on since way before the election. The whole title is misleading. Students aren’t riding to protest.

From the article:

“The "Youth" night bike rides were inspired by a group of university students from Zhengzhou who, back in June, decided to cycle to Kaifeng just to try the city's famous soup dumplings.
 
I wonder if they have a guy in front of the group playing drum and bass music? That Dom Whiting guy might be visiting China! But seriously, that's a pretty big ride out.

The article is from the state run Commies and these students are being disruptive - "A SPOKE in the flow wheel "
Read carefully the warnings near the end.

These are students who have no job prospects and they are protesting in the only way they can without being arrested EVERY night since the election.
China's economy is failing and the government is covering it up.

Reuters 11/10/24
".....Saturday, even as Beijing doubled down on stimulus to support the sputtering economy.
In its latest stimulus measures, the country's top legislative body approved a 10 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion) package on Friday to ease local government "hidden debt" burdens, rather than directly injecting money into the world's second-biggest economy, as some investors had hoped.
Analysts say the package will likely do little to boost economic activity, demand and prices in the near term...."

This is a protest - or else they get MOWED down and ground into the pavement with tanks like Tiananmen Square 1989

The string title implies there is a connection to our election; there isn't. Do you post "click bait" on YouTube also?
 
Can't you see? because NCSWIC, starting with the election of D.J.T.

From Bloomberg:China U-turn on night biking craze shows obsession with control
A nighttime biking craze has sparked a backlash from Chinese officials concerned about traffic chaos and caught off guard by a surprise mass-cycle of university students — a demographic with a history of protest.
Thousands of cyclists flooded a six-lane highway this weekend, according to videos that swept Chinese social media, as they made the 50-kilometre trip from Zhengzhou to an ancient city in central Henan. Students overwhelmed the town of Kaifeng, with some riders dumping their rental bikes on arrival, local media reported.
Just days ago, the ruling Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily had hailed the nascent nocturnal trend as “one way university students were breathing life into China’s tourism scene”. While some students this weekend carried Chinese flags and chanted nationalist slogans such as “long live the party” during the trip, the mass gathering appeared to have flipped the official sentiment.
The Ministry of Emergency Management issued a notice on its WeChat account on Saturday reminding cyclists to comply with traffic and bicycle rules. Bike sharing apps warned they’d remotely freeze any two-wheelers taken beyond Zhengzhou. One university stipulated students now needed exit permits to leave campus, according to the state-affiliated Jimu News in neighbouring Hubei.
“Why are you closing off the schools? Who will go night cycling on Monday and Tuesday?” one user complained on the platform. “I’ve had it, when will it be unsealed?” A hashtag about such controls attracted some 500,000 views on China’s X-like Weibo as of Monday
