Dual sessions must also address soaring housing prices

With the annual session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee opening today and the session of the National People's Congress (NPC) approaching, people online have grown more interested in the potential topics at the two sessions, from the fight against corruption and building a clean government, to improving the country's social security system, distribution of income, and measures to curtail soaring home prices.

Due to the increasing income gap between the rich and poor, the country's aims to promote redistribution of wealth and curb the intolerably high housing prices will most likely top the agendas of the two sessions.
