宗庆后：建议取消住房建设用地70年产权年限

People pay high prices for leases, and in some cases property taxes as well. If the land is returned to the government free of charge, they will find it intolerable and this might affect social stability.

[新华社中国网事]:	[Xinhua-Internet & Report]:
２０１１年全国两会召开在即，广大网民对两会有何期待？最关注哪些热点话题？新华网、新浪网等联合组织的２０１１年“两会调查”结果显示，网民最为关注的“五大热点话题”，分别是：保障住房、收入分配、稳定物价、惩治腐败和就业公平。	What do Chinese netizens expect from the upcoming 2011 NPC & CPPCC Sessions? And what are the hot topics they pay most attention to? A survey co-conducted by the Xinhua News Agency and sina.com.cn reveals that users listed the top five hot topics for this year's sessions as affordable housing, income distribution, commodity price control, anti-corruption, and employment equity.
[人大代表、娃哈哈集团董事长宗庆后]：	[Zong Qinghou, chairman of Wahaha Group and NPC deputy]:
今年两会我提了1条议案，建议法律对住宅建设用地使用权期满后的处置办法进行修订。现在有些地方政府规定70年产权满后无偿收回，我认为这不合理。百姓买房子已经付了高昂的土地出让费，平时又交房产税。另外老百姓也承受不起，对社会稳定也会带来影响。我建议取消这样的年限。	I am submitting one proposal to this year's NPC & CPPCC Sessions, to amend the law on how to deal with residential construction land after leases expire. Currently, some local governments have regulations that decree such lands will revert to them free of charge when the 70-year tenure expires. I don't think that is at all reasonable. People pay high prices for leases, and in some cases property taxes as well. If the land is returned to the government free of charge, they will find it intolerable and this might affect social stability. I propose that we abolish the time limit.
[政协委员、电视节目主持人杨澜]：	[Yang Lan, TV hostess and CPPCC member]:
最近正在为即将召开的两会写提案。目前我比较关注流动青少年的职业教育问题。很多孩子随着打工的父母留在城市里，九年义务教育完成后还未到打工年龄，又没有上高中，在社会上闲着，应该让他们有更多机会上职业学校，有一技之长。	I'm now polishing my proposals for the upcoming two sessions. My current focus is on vocational education for juveniles. Lots of teenagers idle in the cities where their parents serve as migrant workers. They give up further education after graduating from junior middle schools, and are too young to be employed. They should be given more opportunities to learn professional skills in vocational schools.

【刘翔：我的身份是运动员参加两会主要是去学习】 ——虽然很谦虚，但是很失职！	Liu Xiang, Chinese star hurdler and CPPCC member, said that his main profession is still an athlete, and his goal at the two sessions will be to observe the other political advisors. He seems rather humble, but he seems to be disregarding his responsibilities as a CPPCC member.
