		Beijing dialect provides the basis for Putonghua, the official spoken language of the People's Republic of China and Singapore (where Putonghua is known instead as "Huayu"), as well as for Guoyu, the official spoken language of the Republic of China on Taiwan.
		Much of Beijing opera is carried out in an archaic stage dialect quite different from modern Putonghua and from the Beijing dialect; this makes the dialogue somewhat hard to understand, and the problem is compounded if one is not familiar with Chinese, although modern theaters often have electronic titles in Chinese and English.

	Zhao (1998) Ecologies of social movements: student mobilization during the 1989 prodemocracy movement in Beijing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Based on 70 interviews with informants who were mostly students during the 1989 Beijing student movement, the author found that the ecology of university campuses in Beijing enclosed a huge number of students in a small area with a unique spatial distribution and regulated their spatial activities.
		This ecology nurtured many close-knit student networks, as well as directly exposed all Beijing students to a collective action environment when the movement started.
		These ecological conditions not only sustained a high rate of movement participation but also facilitated the formation of many ecology-dependent strategies of student mobilization, which in turn patterned the dynamics of the movement.
