User:Huaiwei has continued to assert his point of view. The airport has characterised itself as being the first in rankings for airports in mainland China (e.g. the company claims it's the first among all airports in "全国" in 2002: [1] "旅客吞吐量达2715.97万人次...三大指标在全国各大机场均排名第一"). Nevertheless Huaiwei has tried his every effort to pull Hong Kong into the picture, whenever possible.. to any article. For many practical purposes Hong Kong and Macau are differentiated from the rest of the People's Republic of China, and this implies no incongruent of sovereignty. — Instantnood 19:04, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

It is certainly newsworthy that Beijing has overtaken HK as the busiest airport in the PRC, for it was the first time this has occured since the figures were released for the perior up to September 2005. What "point of view" am I trying to assert by doing so? 全国 means "the entire country". Does it mean Mainland China? You continue to attempt to add Mainland China into this article for no overwelmingly valid reason to do so other than to obviously trumpet the supposed "HK sovereignty" issue based on your whines above. Do you have proof that I am trying to push my POV?--Huaiwei 19:10, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

In what way is its position as the busiest in mainland China not notable, considering mainland China is an economy by itself? Is the airport politically incorrect to have made that statement? There are many more sources saying 全国 while excluding Hong Kong, Macau and territories under ROC administration. What does that imply? — Instantnood 19:15, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

That it is the busiest in the PRC already means it is the busiest in Mainland China too for obvious reasons, unless you have trouble decifering this logic. Meanwhile, you are now insisting 全国 = Mainland China?--Huaiwei 19:39, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Was this airport the busiest in the PRC before August 2005? Does it change the fact that it has been the busiest among airports in mainland China for many years? How would you interpret what 全国 means in that webpage? — Instantnood 20:06, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

The reason why Hong Kong and Macau should be left out is that they are under different domestic administration under the "one country, two systems" approach. In almost all of Wikipedia, "全国" excludes Hong Kong, Macau, and places under ROC administration. Physicq210 01:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terminal 2 to Taiwan?

I must protest at this being in here at all. There is no evidence to suggest that Taiwan or China will be re-united in the near future, in fact there is more evidence to suggest otherwise. I am removing this statement.Segafreak2 14:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lead

Please consider moving all the alternate information in the lead (different languages and scripts etc) and put them in the infobox instead.--Filll 17:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pic of Terminal 1?

Where can I find a pic of the new and renovated Terminal 1? Bucs2004 20:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
