In his discussion with NPC deputies from Beijing, top political advisor Jia Qinglin called for greater efforts to build the Zhongguancun area in Beijing into a global innovation center and high-tech industry base.

Being China's capital, Beijing must strengthen and make innovations in social management, enhance risk-averse capability and implement measures and policies concerning social stability, Jia said.

Beijing must also work to meet the people's needs in employment, health care, education, housing, and other areas, while perfecting a public social service system, added Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the top political advisory body.
