That's how much people live in Shanghai

This location has caused the expulsion of thousands of immigrants and the closure of businesses.

According to an urban development plan during the period 2017-35, there will be no population increase and a maximum extent of urban areas of 32,000 square miles, equalled by just over half of this municipality area.

Beijing pursued the same policy, no more than 23 million people and 2760 square km until 2035, followed by the closure of small businesses in the city's most populated areas, despite the affected protests.

Evacuations strengthened in Beijing increased since November 18th, when a fire in the suburbs that caused 19 deaths was used as an excuse to promote expulsions.

Beijing's evacuations produced indignation on the population that materialized in a petition, where hundreds of Chinese intellectuals sought the end of this campaign that they described as ruthless and against human rights. /The world.al
