Oil lies on the surface of water in the port city of Dalian, in China's northern Liaoning province on July 25, 2010. Chinese authorities battled to contain an oil spill on the country's northeast coast amid reports it was spreading and as warnings emerged of a heavy long-term environmental impact, after about 1,500 tonnes of oil spill happened on July 16 as two pipelines exploded at an oil storage depot, triggering a spectacular blaze that burned throughout the weekend.
