China's State Council has published an action plan to improve air quality amid the country's efforts to promote high-quality economic development. The plan contains a series of measures designed to achieve bluer skies by 2025, such as propelling green industrial shifts, building a cleaner energy mix and developing a low-carbon transport system. It lists the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and its surrounding areas, as well as the Yangtze River Delta region and the Fenwei Plain, as key areas. According to the action plan, China will ban new steel production capacities, accelerate the removal of outdated capacities in key industries, and foster green industries. The production and supply of natural gas will also be increased. New energy vehicles will account for no less than 80 percent of new or updated buses, taxis and other urban public transport vehicles in key areas.

为推动经济高质量发展，国务院印发了改善空气质量行动计划。该计划包含一系列旨在到2025年实现更蓝天空的措施，例如推动绿色产业转型、建立更清洁的能源结构、发展低碳交通系统。将京津冀及周边地区、长三角地区、汾渭平原列为重点区域。根据《行动计划》，中国将淘汰新增钢铁产能，加快淘汰重点行业落后产能，培育绿色产业。天然气的生产和供应也将增加。重点区域新增或更新公交车、出租汽车等城市公共交通车辆中新能源汽车占比不低于80%。
