China has introduced an additional 10% tax on "super cars", including Ferrari, Bentley, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce. The tax, affecting cars that cost more than 1.3m yuan ($189,000; £151,024), is aimed at curbing lavish spending and reducing emissions, authorities said. It is part of a wider effort by Chinese authorities against flashy demonstrations of wealth, which has already hit other luxury brands. (BBC, 1 December 2016)
