China Cold Wave: China’s president Xi Jinping called for an “all-out” emergency response to the cold snap that began at the start of the week.
Temperatures in parts of China hit their lowest levels since records began, state broadcaster said. The provinces affected included Shanxi, Hebei and Liaoning as a cold wave gripped large swathes of the country.
In Heilongjiang’s Yichun, a record low of minus 47.9 C (minus 54.2 F) was recorded in January 1980. This was broken early this week, according to a meteorological forecaster from the area.
China’s president Xi Jinping called for an “all-out” emergency response to the cold snap that began at the start of the week. Snowfall and icy roads along with heavy fog caused multiple accidents on the roads as well.
But the useful idiots in the West still think that China will give up fossil fuels, and rely on wind and solar power to keep them warm!

The joke here is that in Canada the winter has been milder than usual, and the alarmists have jumped on the fact to claim it’s a certain sign of a warming planet. Meanwhile, they carefully ignore the below-normal readings in Siberia and Manchuria where cities like Irkutsk and Harbin normally have climates almost exactly like Winnipeg’s. So if those locales are having such readings on the other side of the North Pole, don’t they balance out the warmer ones in North America or is this too inconvenient for the doom-and-gloom crowd to admit?
Your analysis is correct of course. Our side is having a brown Christmas, theirs, all icicles. Three weeks ago Beijing had a blasting, biting north wind. Dry of course. It gets little snow.
But they don’t say what the new record is.
