Winter Chaos across China

Brutal winter weather has brought heavy snow and sleet across the country over the weekend. The government has issued a severe weather warning as the snowfall is forecasted to continue in many areas. The weather has caused chaos throughout the country.  The direct economic cost is estimated to be $3.2 billion.

Several highways and airports were closed in numerous provinces.  Some have reopened; however, many still remain closed. The railways continue to operate on a normal schedule with only a few delays. 

The severe weather has caused problems with companies supply chains.
