Luo Qiang, front, mayor of Chengdu, and other government officials and businessmen ride bicycles of Chinese bike-sharing services outside a subway station in Chengdu city, southwest China's Sichuan province, 3 March 2017. Regulators in Chengdu city, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan province, rolled out the country's first regulation on bike-sharing industry on Friday (3 March 2017), and experts predicted the move will be followed by more local governments this year despite certain policy difficulties. The trial document stipulates that all Chengdu residents, not just the service users, are obliged to protect public and private properties such as shared bikes and parking facilities. Those who deliberately destroy or steal the vehicles will be investigated and punished in accordance with law. People whose behavior is serious enough to constitute a crime shall be prosecuted for criminal liability, the guidelines noted.
