Beijing

Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China.
In 2022, Beijing became the first city to host both the Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics. China expanded the use of natural gas piped from western China, Inner Mongolia and Russia and nuclear power to slowly wean the the Chinese capital off of coal and improve air quality in time for the 2022 Olympics.
China also constructed a massive new desalination plant outside the city as its population approached 30 million and it began facing clean water shortages.
HSR rail, including maglev trains, and other infrastructure projects like the Bohai Tunnel, made Beijing the center of a massive economic area of over 300 million by the mid-2030s known as the Bohai Economic Rim. This economic area stretched around the rim of the Bohai Sea in northern China.
