China Scrapping Six Million Cars In Push To Reduce Pollution

China is attempting to tackle its growing air pollution problem, by announcing a crack-down on vehicles that do not meet emissions standards.

The Chinese Government announced this week that around six million vehicles will be “eliminated” from the country’s road network before the end of this year.

Of the vehicles to be scrapped, 20 percent will come from the municipalities of Beijing and Tianjin along with the Hebei Province; all located in China’s north.
