Laughing! I don't know how long you have been in China. If you got to China just now, please wait for one month, or even a few days, when the moist air comes as usual, you will enjoy the toxic smog arround you all day and all night. In fact, the air pollution will be moderated a bit in dry seasons. That's a common sense!! I am living in the Pearl River Delta, where is one of the most polluted regions in China. Recently we can also see the blue sky sometimes. But in spring and summer, the gray and the dust will cover us round the clock.

If my memory serves me right, that most air pollutants in earth's atmosphere are released by the so called advanced economies. You have outsourced your pollution, and now you think you have moral superiority over developing nations on environmental issues? what a joke. And yes, I know it's almost politially incorrect in the west to give chinese government credits. right, never give up an opportunity to score political points, even in an article that is supposedly to be about air pollution?
