迁都所需要的补助将会是巨大的，因为这涉及到成千上万的居民需要迁往到新都以及众多的国内外公司需要在新都重新建立自己的总部。并且被选来当新都的城市也不乐于接受新的老板和员工从而使当地的老板们丧失权力。

The cost of moving would be huge as massive subsidies would be needed for the tens of millions of residents and demanded by so many domestic and foreign companies as they would need and want to relocate their head offices to the new capital.

Also, the city chosen as the capital might not be so happy to receive the emporer and staff because that means a loss of power for local bosses.

现在中国存在更多更重要需要考虑的问题。很长一段时间以来，北京已经集聚了作为首都的所有功能，而现在迁都无疑将耗资巨大且没有价值。我的建议是将工业以及工厂搬迁出去，使北京成为一个仅是首都的特殊城市。张

Nowerdays there are many more important things than considering this problem for China .And for such a long time ,Beijing has gathered all the functions as a capital,the expense of moving it is very huge and useless.
My opinion is moving out the factories and industries ,leave Beijing a special city as the capital. Zhang

在中国迁都建议中，有人提议迁移到一个小城市，这样政客们就不会被地方利益所钳制。另外，还有人把北京污染和水源缺乏作为迁都的动力和理由。

那么，迁都将意味大量人口的迁移吗? 如果不是的话, 环境问题不会得到解决。环境问题将被留给这些留在北京的人来解决。如果如此的话，这将回到这篇文章提到的迁都的理由，除了水资源因素外。

有一些迁都的积极因素，但迁都看起来不会解决北京目前面临的很多问题，所以，迁都后，这些问题还是继续存在。　 Jonathan

In suggesting that the capital move, the argued call for a small city so that politicians could not be held ransom by local interests. Elsewhere it argued that pollution and scarce water resources are motivations for moving. So is there going to be a massive move of people to the new capital or not? If not, the environmental problems won't fixed, they'll just be left behind by the government for those left in Beijing to deal with. If so, then this will invite the same problems that the article cites as reasons to move (with perhaps the exception of low water resources). There could be some positive elements to moving the capital, but it doesn't seem to address many of the issues that Beijing currently faces and will continue to face.
