It has gone on now to the two year mark until the Beijing Olympic Games. There are still many problems including the environment and traffic issues to be resolved.

“The problems that exist in Beijing, such as traffic jams and environmental pollution, are things we have to solve, whether we are hosting the Olympics or not,” said Liu, who is also secretary of the Party’s Beijing municipal committee.

“Preparing for the Games should allow us to bring solutions to these problems ahead of schedule.”
