Ping!
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.
