Bravo for China, they really have been a leader in reducing air pollution.

But I also find this cruelly ironic:

"However, the country has faced many challenges since it transitioned from bicycles to automobiles and other combustion engines. This shift led to complex problems for the environment, society, and economy. Beijing became known specifically for its poor air quality and a lot of haze."

Yeah, but you need to take it a step further ….. becoming a developed country far bigger and far faster than any country in history. While they still have a long way to go and ignoring their political system, their achievement is amazing
