It's time to legalize roadside stalls to create jobs and return a public convenience, says an article on the website of Xinhua News Agency. Following is an excerpt:

Roadside stalls were born after reform and opening up began three decades ago and were quite popular for a long time. But then came bans in big and small cities based on the claim they were inhibiting the development of urban areas.
