According to CMA meteorological satellite remote sensing monitoring for snow cover, up to January 28, the total area covered by snow at 15 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) is 128.21 million square kilometers.

More than 90% of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hubei and Shannxi were covered by snow. The depth of snow cover at central Anhui and south Jiangsu is 30~45 cm and some areas even reached 50 cm

I see. Up to 20" of snow dropped over an area 128 million kilometers in the course of a little over 2 weeks. (01/18-01/28) These, you will remember, are part of the same organization (the ChiComs) that boasted not too long ago that Chinese economy was growing by 7+% per year; that the Great Wall of China inspired the Romans to construct Hadrian's Wall in northern England; that with the coming of a cyclone they successfully and seamlessly evac. something like 1 million people from the coast, etc., etc.

I don't doubt that China has, and does, many things, but it has been known to pull the bow string back just a little too far at times.
