For those who don't want to give up their diesel/petrol cars, your existing cars won't be banned, just new petrol/diesel cars won't be on sale in 23 years' time.
The irony with China's position is that most of their electricity comes from coal and that is the cause of much of the polluton issues that they face. Just converting to electic transport without cleaning up the generating side will only make the pollution worse.
