Deputy tries to drive sharing economy

With China's car-rental business booming, more reforms are needed to related traffic laws and regulations, tax policies and urban management, Gao Yu, a deputy from Chongqing attending the 13th National People's Congress, said on Saturday.

Gao, 32, founded Pand Auto, a car-hailing service for new-energy vehicles, and launched its car-sharing service in November 2015 in Chongqing. With its cheap cost and convenient service, the company became popular among the people born in '80s and '90s. It has become one of the leading car-sharing service providers in China.

As a representative of the industry, Gao was elected to the 13th NPC in January. She earned a doctoral degree in business innovation in manufacturing from the joint PhD program between Zhejiang University and Cambridge University in Britain.
