What they say

Guo Jianren, deputy of the National People's Congress and Party chief of Changyukou village, Xuanhua district of Zhangjiakou, Hebei province

Zhangjiakou, a northern city in Hebei province, usually has much better air quality than its neighboring capital, Beijing. But to prevent air pollution, we need stricter controls to forbid the construction of any polluting projects in the city. Thus, boosting local tourism has been one of the better options for economic growth and environmental protection.
