China typically releases a winter air quality plan every autumn, because coal heating and atmospheric conditions lead to dirtier air during the winter months. But the plan was not enforced in 2022, according to the Finnish-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) and was only reintroduced part-way through the 2023-2024 winter season.
