I never visted LA in the 80s. I have two friends who live in Shanghai and complain about the air quality. Regardless, the state is no friend to the environment. And as I said to the other commenter, I don't think it's reasonable to hold up China, a huge and corrupt state with no meaningful rights to expression, as an example of innovation sans government.
