Beijing Blocks US Embassy Pollution Data

Beijing Blocks US Embassy Pollution Data
Nov 11, 2014 By eChinacities.com

Seeing how the sky is not as blue as the government had hoped during this week’s APEC summit, the government has attempted one final time to clear the pollution, and this time the plan really is fool proof: the American embassy’s pollution data has been blocked.

For those of you using an AQI app on your phones, you’ll see that the reading is at the American embassy is ‘0’, and that the only way to tell the pollution at the moment is using the government controlled readings, on which the readings seem suspiciously low; about 50 this morning.

In preparation for the APEC summit, crematoriums were banned from burning clothes, the city has taken on an odd-even license place policy for cars, and mandatory holidays have been implemented to try and clear the streets.

I don't know why they'd block it. In the past 24 hours the Embassy's range has been 8-66. As good as it gets. I mean, does anyone really think it's zero?
