The article doesn't say it's happening. This is from another source:
Mao Xiangdong, vice-president of the Shanghai Institute of Technology and a member of the standing committee of the municipal people’s congress, proposed the idea during Shanghai’s ongoing legislative sessions, according to a post by China Development News, a newspaper under the National Development and Reform Commission.
It is not clear when the post was put online but it was removed on Friday morning
