JIANG WEIXIN, member of the CPPCC National Committee and minister of housing and urban-rural development, responding to media questions about government measures to curb housing prices
"Demolitions are now becoming increasingly terrible. I am willing to ask a question very seriously as a CPPCC National Committee member: Can we not pay so much attention to GDP? Can we choose to slow down the speed of economic development?"
他认为，地方政府通过卖地、强拆来追求GDP代价太大，早晚要还。“我愿意用一个政协委员的身份非常严肃地提出问题，我们是不是可以不要那么重视GDP?我们是不是可以选择减缓经济发展的速度?”
