This alarming article concentrating its breath on Beijing doesn't mention the Western world (particularly the United States) in direct cause of all this pollution madness. While China (and other Asian nations) was still agrarian and commercially undeveloped, the West was already ruthlessly polluting the world wantonly with its industrial revolution in the name of capitalistic greed. No industrialist stopped to consider the adage, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander" or "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." One day, after the American embargo of China was lifted, the nation would catch up with the material wealth selfishly forged in the West. Why should China be blamed and its people suffer backwardness caused by an out-of-control scorching of the earth and waste laid to all the planet. Instead of pitying China for its pollution, the Guardian should open it's capitalistic mouth wider and shout to its own British government: "You should have thought of this when Thomas Hardy warned you over a hundred years ago."
