Air pollution, including high ozone levels, is most severe in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province, according to a report released by the Environmental Protection Ministry.
Legislators in both Beijing and Tianjin have called upon governments to transfer some industries from the overloaded capital to the nearby port city.
The port at Caofeidian, which serves the city of Tangshan, Hebei province is set to become an important economic partner of the municipalities of Beijing and Tianjin in the future, by using its resource advantages, a district leader has reported.
Up to 9.5 billion cubic meters of clean water will be supplied to 19 large and medium-sized cities in arid North China every year through the South-to-North Water Diversion Project's middle route from next year, authorities said.
