The notice states the order is issued by the district government to ensure the air quality during APEC. 

The temperature at night in Tianjin and Beijing has dropped to the upper 30s Fahrenheit in the past few days, and many netizens are criticizing the authority’s order as “too ridiculous.” 

“People from different social communities, please help by calling for heat to be supplied to the people. I can’t bear the cold close to freezing at night!” remarked the Netizen “fat tomato.” 

A notice for suspending milk delivery during APEC issued by a milk station in the Chaoyang District of Beijing is also circulating on the Chinese Internet. The notice states the milk delivery company decided to close from Nov. 3 to 11 due to Beijing traffic control.
