A foreign tourist wearing a face mask against air pollution visits Tiananmen Square in heavy smog in Beijing, China, 3 February 2017. Chinese capital Beijing will intensify its battle against choking air pollution in 2017 and aims to cut coal use by 30 percent, state news agency Xinhua cited mayor Cai Qi as saying. Despite repeated pledges to get tough, large parts of northern and central China have been engulfed in thick smog again this winter, often for days at a time, disrupting flights, port operations and schools. Cai said the government will take even more steps in 2017, including cutting coal use by helping residents of 700 villages to use clean energy, Xinhua said. Beijing will also remove 300, 000 old vehicles from the roads in 2017 and promote the use of new energy cars, Xinhua said.
