"Currently, the biggest factor hindering the combat of air pollution caused by vehicle emissions is the scarcity of high-quality fuel. Domestically refined fuel has failed to keep up with vehicle development."
He Kebin, a professor of environmental science and engineering and the Executive Dean of Tsinghua University's graduate school, on September 13
"Print is dying, but children's books are still popular. Many profit-driven publishers rush into the market without the slightest consideration for quality."
Zhao Ping, a children's publishing industry insider in Shanghai, in response to a circular released by the Central Government on September 12, which called for stricter supervision on reading material for children, in both print and digital media
"Hong Kong doesn't need Britain or any other country's help in carrying out political reform. The region has the determination to elect its top leader by universal suffrage in 2017 and reform its political system on its own."
Leung Chun Ying, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, on September 15
"In the process of China's reform and opening up, the twin track system in certain areas has sustained stable economic growth, but at the same time has caused much social discontent. Therefore, an important task of China's future economic reform should be eliminating such a system."

Subway Culture
China Youth Daily September 16
It is reported that Shanghai Railway Line 2 has fully implemented a book borrowing activity. A passenger can borrow his favorite book in the subway station at 1 yuan ($0.16), read on the subway and return it at the station where he gets off.
Currently, subway construction is well underway across China. Such infrastructure has become an important part of urban culture. However, this should be presented by citizens' cultural impulse and mental pursuits. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen the building of a subway culture. Hopefully, such a culture can be developed and become an integral part of our cities.
