Winter Storms Cause Chaos for Chinese Lunar New Year Travel

Snowstorms and freezing rain have disrupted transportation in large parts of China as millions of people travel for the Lunar New Year holiday, causing flight and train cancellations and stranding motorists on frozen highways. The bitter cold has spoiled plans for many to reunite with family, with social media posts showing people stuck in trains and railway stations. The freezing weather has led to one death and 13 injuries, prompting the central government to allocate funds for urgent snow removal. The freezing conditions are expected to abate soon, with warmer weather forecasted by Friday.
