I’ve been to Hong Kong twice (in 1987 and 1997)
and have since become a pack-a-day smoker.
I coughed up more brownish-grey crap in HK
than I ever have since.
There (a place I generally liked) the air sticks to your skin,
and when you scrub your face with a white cloth

I can only imagine what the air has become like in Shanghai or Beijing
in the 10 years since then…

This is a little different than blaming all foreigners for crime in Japan and you know it. God forbid that China be blamed for the tons and tons of pollution that it produces moving with wind patterns and affecting life elsewhere.

Sands from the Gobi effect Korea and Japan on almost a yearly basis, so why would you think this is any different?

My god, who votes “no” in this kind of situation? Maybe that video of the reporter testing the smog over an interstate using a filter and handvac needs to go back up…

This doesn’t look too good.
