Beijing was the fourth most-polluted major city in the world on Sunday, according to Swiss air-quality technology firm IQAir. Beijing's high on Sunday was 19 C (66 F), according to the national weather bureau. The weather bureau forecast weak cold air currents to last the rest of the month before beginning to cool in early November.

BEIJING, March 6 (Reuters) - Thirteen northern Chinese cities surrounding the capital Beijing have issued pollution alerts over the last few days, raising concerns that an industrial recovery in the region is increasing smog levels. All 13 cities, including Tianjin and Tangshan, China's biggest steelmaking centre, had issued "orange" heavy pollution alerts by Sunday, the second-highest alert, the National Joint Research Center for Tackling Key Problems in Air Pollution Control (NJRC) said. NJRC said the recent spike had been driven by an increase in industrial activity, with steel and cement plants operating at higher levels, and diesel truck traffic also rising. China has been trying to re-energise its economy since lifting strict COVID-19 curbs at the end of last year, raising fears that pollution could be allowed to rise. An orange alert means the three-day average air quality index (AQI) has risen above 200, classified as "heavy pollution", and normally triggers industrial closures or output cuts under Chinese regulations.
A man in northern China was sentenced to 24 years in prison on Friday in connection with an attack on four women at a restaurant that stirred a national conversation on gender-based violence. The attack left two of the women hospitalized. CCTV footage captured a violent attack on women at a restaurant in Tangshan, China, in June. The Tangshan attack, CCTV footage of which quickly spread online, elicited an outpouring of anger among Chinese internet users, many of whom voiced serious concerns over the treatment of women in the country. The verdict on Friday was cheered on Weibo, a popular Chinese social media platform, with many commenters saying Chen’s harsh sentence was well deserved.
Таншаньская локомотивостроительная компания (Tangshan Co., входит в состав CRRC) выпустила грузовой поезд, способный разгоняться до 350 км/ч, сообщает "Синьхуа". Компания-производитель утверждает, что в мире нет аналогов этому поезду, передает interfax.ruВ отличие от пассажирских сверхскоростных поездов грузовой состав снабжен более широкими дверями: их ширина составляет 2,9 метра. Форма локомотива напоминает очертания китайского осетра, что улучшает его аэродинамические свойства, отмечает агентство. При разработке поезда были применены технологии сверхширокополосной связи UWB, мобильной сети передачи данных и спутниковой навигационной системы "Бэйдоу", что обеспечивает точное опознавание и позиционирование грузов, а также связь между поездами и станциями. Новая модель поезда будет использоваться для скоростных грузоперевозок на расстояния от 600 до 1500 км.
