That's news to me, I have to open my windows a little bit cause otherwise it is just too hot in my house.


Did I say I believe that?

Btw, why is ifeng.com so anti-Indian? Is it a state-owned media outlet?

According to German media, people are freezing in China/Beijing because the government banned heating by coal even though many buildings aren't connected to the gas grid.

Oh, I see, I went to high school affiliated to Beijing University of Technology at Wudaokou, That's where old Beijing University of Technology is located, you must be talking about a new campus for that school.

Here in Beijing people also wonder how it happened, some common rumors say that the government planted so many trees to have formed a very tight green belt around Beijing to protect her from sandstorms coming from Mongolia Gobi desert and then the stand storms were gone but came in with the smog instead, because the trees stopped the free air flow and the wind can not come into Beijing to blow away dirty air. Now the government cut down many trees and make an open passage way through the man made forest to allow wind coming in and the wind did the trick. But to me that's total bullshit, sounds more like urban legend to me.

oh thank you sir but its still mystery yet?

It's not "new" campus though. It's been there for decades. Back to the topic, China's government is really efficient and can make words turn real things. CCP does things for people even there is no election in China. So no reason to admire elected governments. Who are in most cases big talkers.

Wait until Yamal LNG goes online (by 2019). Most of the shortage problems in the northeast will be solved.

北京迎来无霾月！12月空气优良率近90%，赶超广东上海！

Looks like the air in Beijing currently better than the warmer Shanghai due to tough policy actions.

My friend just came back from Shanghai and he said the air pollution spoiled his holiday. I actually thought Shanghai is one of the cleaner cities in China.
