China Shares Beijing's Anti-Pollution Plan with Delhi

India — Delhi is currently experiencing severe air pollution, prompting the Chinese embassy in India to share China — Beijing's successful strategies for combating smog over the past decade. Yu Jing, spokesperson for the Chinese embassy, detailed China — Beijing's approach, which included ultra-strict vehicle emission controls, phasing out old vehicles, curbing car growth through lotteries and driving restrictions, and massive investments in public transport. Additionally, China — Beijing undertook significant industrial restructuring, shutting down or relocating over 3,000 heavy industries, including Shougang Group, and transforming vacated sites into parks and tech hubs. The comparison shows India — Delhi's AQI at 447 while China — Beijing's was 67 on December 15. Experts note that while India — Delhi shares some pollution sources with China — Beijing, direct replication requires adaptation to local realities, including addressing stubble burning in states like Punjab, India — Haryana, and India — Uttar Pradesh. International concern is evident, with Singapore, United Kingdom, and Canada issuing travel advisories for India — Delhi.
