imageBEIJING: China will not approve any new coal production capacity over the next three years, said China's cabinet on Friday, as part of a plan to tackle severe overcapacity in the sector.

It will also remove around 500 million tonnes of production capacity within the next three to five years, it said, and speed up the process of squeezing "zombie" coal firms from the market.
