True, but I was under the impression that even on the coast, a few cities are _really bad_, but most are ok enough (i.e. polluted, but not worryingly so). Do you have any personal experience there?

The pollution situation is not overstated by the western media, as anyone living in eastern China who isn't a heavily biased wumao can easily attest.
