Quick! Build more freeways!According to China's state-run Global Times, "traffic authorities were still trying to cope with days-long congestion on a major national expressway, nine days after traffic slowed to a snail's pace."
That's right, the tie-up — which is 60 miles long! — has gone on for nine days.
