China has taken measures to ensure people's livelihood as the strongest cold front this winter sweeps across the country.
From Monday to Thursday, the temperature in most parts of central and east China is expected to drop by 10 degrees Celsius, while the mercury in some areas in northwest, northeast, north and south China will drop by 12 degrees Celsius to 16 degrees Celsius, according to the National Meteorological Center.
Chinese authorities will continue to increase the supply of natural gas, an important energy source for heating in northern China, and allocate resources to seven key provinces and municipalities, according to the National Development and Reform Commission. Currently, the daily gas supply to the seven provinces and cities has reached about 470 million cubic meters, accounting for 40 percent of the national total.
