A man walks towards a factory located next to a coal-burning power station in Beijing November 20, 2008. China cut its emissions of water pollution and acid rain-causing sulphur dioxide in the first half of this year, as Beijing closed dirty power plants and the global economic crisis hit heavy industry, state media said.
