China's Destruction over snowstorm!







CHINA’S DESTRUCTION OVER SNOWSTORM!

China faces the worst ever snow storms in decades; the storms look set to persist for at least another Ten days, a top forecaster warns.

China is under a lot of pressure with its most terrible snowfall in decades, with officers warning of later lack of food as winter crops are damaged. The snowfall has severely hit Central and Southern China which supply most of the country’s groceries.
If the awful weather continues, China could be troubled with financial losses of billions of yuan, and consequently threatening the country’s development this year.

Hundreds and thousands of people are still stranded at stations, with main railways and highways blocked by the snow. The electricians who were trying to clear snow and ice from power lines in dangerous areas, died when the pylon they had climbed collapsed.

The despicable weather has delayed millions of people getting home for the Chinese New Year. The Chinese Prime Minister, Wen Jiabo, made a rare public appearance to apologize to the people affected by the bad weather. China Meteorological Administration’s head, Zheng Guoguang, advised against travel over the Chinese New Year.
