Editor's Note: Provincial regions and cities in China are holding their annual conferences of law makers and political advisers. To inform our readers of the latest changes in various parts of the country, China Daily is reporting about some of these conferences.
Beijing will keep a tight rein on population growth this year as the city makes comprehensive efforts to solve serious urban problems like air pollution and traffic congestion, the mayor said in a governmental Work Report.
Population control is the thorniest problem, and it's directly tied to other issues, said Mayor Wang Anshun during a group discussion with deputies of the Beijing people's congress.
