"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."
“北京会设一个常住人口规模的上限值，要按照这个人口规模来配给城市基础设施、水电气热、路网等。北京到底能够容纳多少人，水资源、土地、生态资源能够支撑多少人在这里相对宜居的生活，不能是一个无穷的数，所以让各方面专家测算出北京人口增长的上限值。现在开始就要把人口的增速降下来。”
