'Land auctions delayed over Congress'

The auctions of six large lots of land have been postponed for a week until March 15, with bidders angry over what experts claim is to avoid catch too much attention at the Two Sessions.

Among the six pieces, two slots - Yizhuang in Daxing district and Dongsheng in Haidian district - will be set aside for commercial use.

The other four pieces are to be used for residential projects, according to the website for the Land Consolidation Reserve Center in Beijing.
