What they say

"It's a must to avoid corruption in building up Tongzhou district, the subcenter of the capital. Many construction projects are ready to be launched and need financing. We must pay attention to the buildings' quality and prevent graft. I don't want our officials to fall down as construction is finished."

Wang Anshun, deputy of Beijing People's Congress and mayor of Beijing

"Beijing will set a cap for the population and then allocate basic urban resources, such like gas and electricity. The water, land and other natural resources cannot support an infinite number of people. Experts will conduct research to find the upper limit of population for the capital. We need to reduce population growth immediately."
