Why The World's Top Automakers Are Flocking To Beijing. Beijing's government has had to resort to a registration lottery to hold down its growth. My first trip to China came shortly after General Motors opened its first joint venture assembly plant a dozen years ago. Back then, Beijing was a city of countless hutongs, the narrow alleys and neighborhoods where most residents once lived. Today, most of those traditional communities are gone, the few remaining ones hidden behind modern skyscrapers.
Those old streets never could have handled today's traffic. Not that the grand new boulevards and highways are coping much better.
