Comments on 1 million cars in Guangzhou
Remember that the sprawl of Guangzhou and Shenzhen encompasses a lot of satellite cities, so therefore you have a LOT of cars in those towns with registered plates to Zhuhai, Jiangmen, Zhongshan, Foshan, Dongguan, etc.
Combine that with the overabundance of "official" vehicles holding white military/police plates, "O", "AA", "AB", "AC", etc. and you'll have well over a million for sure...
