But... It's not like Beijing can do much about it until the winds stop blowing from the south, and the gummit stops turning a blind eye to all those factories down south who are ignoring China's emissions regulations. And that's just not going to happen anytime soon... The economy is about to take a nosedive. Or is already in the process. They can't make those factories curtail production, much less shut down. And clean air will always be sacrificed to keep the economy afloat.

Yes! A man who can actually see the seriousness of this situation. He was deported, so was his father. My students told me she is all over their we chat as The Dragon Lady" they all knew it was a scam, as injuried people are not able to start a small riot while climbing on the bike, proving she has no injuries. This goes through the embassy people, and for those having a laugh, if you have a foreign penis, you could be next in line for more "Game of Dragon Lady Thrones". She would have been arrested in the west for:
deliberately blocking intersection
making false accusations
attempting to steal bike ( jumping on a bike you don't own is called stealing in the West)
iattempting to incite a riot
fraud (2 month to ten years USA)
in the foreign court go opinion, every one of we foreign women have this woman's face burned in our memory. Can't wait to meet her and have a truthful discussion with no men, no police. Just a few educated foreign women to give her instructions and basic emergency English, including the definition of the word fraud. Ten years in the west. Enjoy your duck Dragon Woman, you won't get another opportunity now that you are the most famous dragon woman in Beijing! Enjoy!
That is what I feel as well. And since Beijing apparently has the busiest subways in the world, they should not have trouble paying the bills every month with that.
"A report released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences on Monday said secondary inorganic aerosols — fine, solid particles comprising sulfate and nitrate that result from a photochemical reaction — are responsible for 26 percent of Beijing's PM2.5, whereas vehicle emissions account for about 4 percent.
However, the bureau contradicted that report on Thursday, saying that automobile emissions are still the major source of PM2.5 in Beijing.
Figures from the bureau reveal that automobile emissions account for 22.2 percent of PM2.5 concentration, after pollution from neighboring provinces (24.5 percent).
It is followed by coal consumption (16.7 percent), industrial pollution (16.3 percent) and dust (15.8 percent)."
The academy did not further analyze the largest single component of the foul air -- secondary inorganic aerosols – which are not primary sources of pollution but rather byproducts of photochemical reactions with primary emissions such as sulphur dioxide. Skeptics will wonder if this might not be a way to hide unpleasant realities.
That was exactly what I was wondering when I read this article. Does that make me one of the unnamed skeptics?

Re: Breathe Free, Car Owners: Beijing's Bad Air Ain't Your Fault
OK the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau doesn't agree: they say automotive exhaust contributes 22% to thr city's pollution:
Beijing sees little improvement in air quality in 2013
"A report released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences on Monday said secondary inorganic aerosols — fine, solid particles comprising sulfate and nitrate that result from a photochemical reaction — are responsible for 26 percent of Beijing's PM2.5, whereas vehicle emissions account for about 4 percent.
However, the bureau contradicted that report on Thursday, saying that automobile emissions are still the major source of PM2.5 in Beijing.
