When the tech is ready you won't need to ban ICEs. No one ever really banned the horse drawn carriage or the chariot or the Zeppelin, or the transatlantic passenger ship. When tech replaced them they ceased to exist.

So China's statement is meaningless.
The economic benefits and other market forces will be the most powerful driver of adoption I'm sure....but I don't think your buggy/zeppelin examples translate all that well.

Why did we stop selling leaded gasoline?
