  • Proposal for the army arts troupes to do more on the capital's stages
  • Proposal to resume floating train ticket prices during the Spring Festival rush
  • Proposal for collective management of street vendors
  • Proposal to resolve the economic losses brought to fruit farmers by birds
  • Proposal to change the name of Beijing Subway's Yong'anli Station to Silk Street Station as soon as possible
  • Recommendation for a complete ban on dog raising
  • Proposal to strengthen Beijing's municipal manhole-cover design
  • Recommendation to restore Comrade Hua Guofeng's calligraphic inscription at the Miyun Reservoir
  • Proposal to change "out of season uniforms"
  • Recommendation to add a Beijing TV station for the disabled
  • Proposal for standardized management of shanzhai culture
  • Proposal to improve young people's education in the core values of socialism

LoveChinaLongTime, you just insulted goon squads.

The Beijing Subway is dominated by this officialesque landscape in the Jing -- there is no way they'll change Yong'anli to the commercialesque Silk Street.

Women-only cars are good, though.
