Beijing is political city. Beijing  holds a communist representative conference, also it is not too much to say that most of policy decides in Beijing. Most of Beijing citizens are descendant of royal family, noble, or bureaucrat, and also a high ranking official or chosen intelligence, therefore most of people have self-esteem and conservative tendency. In Beijing, over 50% high-ranking university located, one of most popular university in Beijing is University of Beijing which is really good institution. The area of Beijing is 16,808 km^2 which is smaller than other city but the population is 22 million which is the largest number of population within China's cities. If illegal alien included, the population is over 22 million. One of the political issues occur right now in Beijing is about Bo Xilai. A Chinese court found him guilty on charges of graft, accepting bribes and abuse of power. Bo Xilai was recently replaced as Party Secretary for the Chongquing municipality.
