Beijing is making headlines with a major leap in air quality—recording 290 days of clean, fresh air in 2024, the highest since monitoring began! This means that 79.2% of days last year had good air quality, marking an improvement of 19 days over the previous year and an impressive 114-day jump since 2013. 🙌
Just a decade ago, the city was struggling with severe air pollution. Thanks to continuous cleanup initiatives and smart eco-friendly policies, Beijing has turned over a new leaf, setting an inspiring example for urban centers around the world.
Beyond the national capital, the Chinese mainland is on an eco-journey under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization. With a steadfast focus on ecological protection, green, and low-carbon development, the country is not only transforming its cities but also expanding the global map of greenery for the benefit of all. 🌍
This milestone is a vibrant reminder that strategic, innovative environmental efforts can drastically improve urban living. For young, tech-savvy, and socially conscious minds across South and Southeast Asia, Beijing’s progress is a beacon of hope—a sign that a cleaner, sustainable future is within reach. Cheers to a breath of fresh air and a greener tomorrow! 🍃
