BEIJING, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) — The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment said Sunday that China's capital recorded only one day of severe air pollution in 2025, down 98.3 percent from 58 days in 2013.

This indicates that days with high levels of air pollution in the Chinese capital have virtually disappeared, the department said.

Last year, the average concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5), a key indicator of air pollution, in the city reached 27.0 μg per cubic meter, dropping below 30 μg per cubic meter for the first time since monitoring began. This represents a significant breakthrough in the city's efforts to combat air pollution.

Heavy and frequent smog was once a major problem facing the Chinese capital. In 2013, for example, the average annual concentration of PM2.5 in the air reached 89.5 μg/m3.

Air pollution was holding back urban development and negatively impacting the well-being of residents. Against this backdrop, Beijing launched an unprecedented "Battle for Blue Skies" program, the department recalled. -0-

Kim Jong-un praised the plant's multi-purpose precision weapons, the report said.

BEIJING, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) — Three key indicators of Urumqi Tianshan International Airport in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have reached new historical highs by the end of 2025, the Xinjiang Daily newspaper reported, citing a source in the airport administration.

According to data, for the entire year of 2025, the airport's passenger turnover amounted to almost 29.18 million person-times, an increase of 5.09 percent year-on-year, while the volume of cargo and mail transportation amounted to 331,800 tons, which is 40.65 percent more than the figure recorded at the end of 2024. Meanwhile, this airport also supported 194,900 departures and landings, which is 3.27 percent more than the previous year.

It's worth noting that Tianshan Airport has seen rapid growth in international and regional flights, up 79.88 percent from 2024 levels. This growth reflects the airport's continued growth as an international aviation hub.

Furthermore, for the entire year 2025, the airport's international cargo and mail volume jumped by 204.8 percent to 122,700 tons.

As a reminder, the airport operates 311 air routes, including 236 domestic passenger and 6 domestic cargo routes, as well as 32 international passenger and 37 international cargo routes, covering five Central Asian countries. -0-
