Car Buying in China - How about a bulletproof car

Just a few days ago, in its June 29th, 2006 edition China Daily (the leading English language newspaper in China), there was a report on a new fad in China - purchases of bulletproof cars.
Here is a link to the article: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2006-06/29/content_629142.htm

It is interesting to know why would you need a bulletproof vehicle in China.  After all China is actually relatively safe place to live and work - I have been here with my family for a rather long time, and also know a number of people who have spent significantly longer time here
Well the answer to this question is actually more related to prestige than safety.  At any rate, please drop me a line or a comment on this site if you would like to learn more about cars and car ownership in China
