Due to the fact that the Beijing and Chinese government are going to bar car owners for driving into the city for the Beijing 2008 games period, they are also going to supply compensations! The government is currently enganged in assigning a sort of scheme to make car owners happy during the Beijing 2008 games and hopefully they will come to a conclusion soon.
The city is abruptly changing recently with controls on polution and immigrants, particularly from the rural parts as they are increasing the street controls of resident permits. In China, everyone has a permit they have to carry around with them, a sort of ID card which they will have to supply if a police official asks for it. The reason these controls have tightened, as we can see it is to increase security for the 2008 games!
According to the Vice Mayor, Ji Lin these measures are intended to reduce the air pollution and traffic congestion which are two of the hardest to combat factors. However, these measures will need to be diminished in anticipation for the beijing 2008 games.
