Or rather, the lack of it. I had been warned, but still I was shocked. We were privileged to be in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong several years ago in October. In Shanghai and Beijing I could hardly breathe, though I liked both places. Hong Kong was windy and we could breathe freely there. The situation is much worse than most people could imagine and all citizens of the US who think US air is bad should have to spend a few months In Shanghai and Beijing. With its enormous population to feed, house, and employ, and the apparent limitation of energy resources, there is no solution. China needs a miracle. It’s a great country but that air!!
