Huh? Have you looked at it recently? Beijing has made incredible strides in solving air pollution problems. They turned around the situation quickly to pretty decent results -- give them some more time and I'm sure they'll do even better.
China is not doing that bad. And I think one of the reasons why is in fact that high amount of STEM-educated folks in the politburo.

- pen2l 10y agoIt was pretty bad around 2008. Now, 2017, it's not perfect but it's much, much better. They're on the right track. Separately, I want to say: judging per capita they're not doing bad.
