Should China move the capital from Beijing to somewhere in the interior heartland because of overcrowding?
I know that South Korea is looking to move their capital out of Seoul because of the same reason.
I read this article on the BBC News about the proliferation of electric bicycles in Beijing:

Then I thought, wouldn't moving the capital to an interior location help in economic development there?
Would you support such a move?
Most traditional capitals tend to be the largest city around. Though some countries, like Australia, have their capital in the what amounts to the countryside (canberra).
China has a huge government, moving it would be difficult. Certainly many of the government people might not want to go.
In addition, beijing is one of the traditional capitals. They could move the capital to Nanjing (another traditional capital). While nanjing is smaller, it is much more crowded than Beijing.
Finally, I really have not seen many reasonably sized cities that were overcrowded. For this reason many citis are moving their government functions out of the city to the surrounding countryside.
