Local performance

Success or failure depends on local governments' performance.

Only when environmental protection becomes a key to evaluate local governments' performance, can the situation be changed.

False reports

Comment on "Dam engineer fends off attacks from foreign media" (China Daily, November 28)

It is good that the engineer told foreign reporters the truth, calling on them not to demonize China.

I am fed up with false reports by some trouble makers.

Painful inflation

Comment on "Macro controls to ensure stability" (China Daily, November 28)

Inflation is in fact nibbling away at the living standards of the people.

Inflation means prices continue to rise, especially real estate prices are much higher than before.

Love essential

Comment on "Money can buy you love, web poll shows" (China Daily, November 27)

Both money and love are necessary in a happy marriage. But love is the priority because it is the basis for marriage. A couple can enjoy not only the results but also the process of struggling together. In this way we can be rich and achieve the goals in our lives.
