Many mills in N China face closure amid smog

The sun sets behind a chimney of a steel mill in Tangshan, Hebei province February 18, 2014. There are dozens of "zombie" mills that can no longer afford to operate in and around Tangshan, an industrial city of 7 million people in China's northern Hebei province. China has told Hebei to slash steel capacity, stirred by growing public resentment about pollution. However, many mills are already on the brink of bankruptcy and would have been forced to close anyway. At the Qingquan mill, on the outskirts of the city, workers went on strike in October after going unpaid for six months and have not returned. Picture taken February 18, 2014. [Photo/Agencies]
