Platform for all opinions

We should ensure that all groups of people can voice their opinions at the annual political meeting, says an article on the website china.org.cn. The following is an excerpt:

Mu Qiru, a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC and the chairman of a large Beijing property company told the meeting that "nailed households" (those who refuse to move from their homes to make way for urban development) have also caused housing prices to rise and it is unfair to blame property developers as the main culprit for the price rises. Mu sparked public criticism for protecting the interests of her industry.

Earlier, Zhang Yin, one of the richest women in China and also member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, said the practice of life-long employment should be abolished.
