Punctuation Problem!

Dear Friends, Is this sentence correctly punctuated? Most cities in China such as the capital Beijin and Shanghai and other cities are overcrowded. |

HI ! I think there should be a comma after China and another one after cities. MOST CITIES IN CHINA, SUCH AS THE CAPITAL BEIJIN AND SHANGHAI AND OTHER CITIES, ARE OVERCROWDED. |

Personally I would use hyphens in this example. Most cities in China - such as the capital Beijing, Shanghai and many others - are overcrowded. I changed a couple of words too but just ignore them if you wish - I �m very picky! |

Those should be dashes, not hyphens. A hyphen is used within a multiple-part word. A dash is used between words. Bruce |
