China In-Focus — Asian giant vows to adapt better to climate change; Strike disrupts chip shipment to China

BEIJING: China’s economy and society are at increasing risk from climate change and the country needs to improve adaptation mechanisms and monitoring capabilities at every level of government, according to a new policy document.

“Climate change has already brought serious adverse impacts to China’s natural ecological system, and has continued to spread and penetrate into (the) economy and society,” the government said in its national climate change adaptation strategy published late on Monday.
