Now my area in Jiangsu is bad . I swear they're polluting everywhere to make Beijing look no worse than anywhere else. If Beijing has bad air so be it but don't pollute other areas to make Beijing seem not so bad. I was recently in Beijing and told some locals how much better my area was . Now where I am is bad. Leave it to Beijingers to be jealous of other areas' air and complain that other areas are better. I wouldn't put anything past Beijingers or the powers that be .
