    Free speech does not entitle you to any platform you like, especially private ones

    This seems to be the exact position of China's censors.

    Here's their constitution:

    "Article 35. Citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration."

    I was just noticing the same thing. There are a lot of suspicious aspects of the original article. The direction I was coming at it was to consider how many 50 kWH charges you could deliver (assuming that people aren't always on empty when they charge) - 20,000. So, on any given day, only 1/8th or so of the stations would be getting used even once.

    That got me looking for the original article which I think may be this one.

    It appears that around 40,000 of the claimed 167000 are SGCC's piles. The others are from the 17 cooperating station operators. In any case, this is enough to make me think that they are talking real stations and not counting stations people have installed at home which was my initial suspicion.

    The only explanations I can think of are that the numbers are wrong or the numbers are correct and the stations are there for the rare circumstance where someone is using an EV to travel between cities or didn't get a full charge at home.

    My guess is that the latter is true. China has new EV sales of more than 40,000 vehicles per month and they have to be getting charged somewhere. That somewhere is likely at home with travel contained to the city.

    This is a population that was almost exclusively riding bikes a couple of decades ago. They likely still organize themselves in a fashion that puts them a bike ride away from everything they do.

    There is an article that is probably more direct, on People's Daily about this matter.

    you've probably already seen this in where they highlight words representing time or dates and if you click on them

    If you go to the English Language edition of People's Daily (nice easy to type in URL, en.people.cn ) a floating box at the bottom left sits there and the webpage brings up floating dialogues with Chinese translations of the word you hover over. The translation service, BTW, says it's from Bing.
