Much of central eastern China was blanketed in a thick “haze” on January 29, with experts estimating that it currently covers more than one million square meters nationwide. As a result, air quality has become increasingly bad, perhaps most notably in Beijing, where visibility has been reduced to less than ten meters. China’s national weather center has also released its first ever “haze” blue weather alert regarding the weather conditions. Rain and snowfall are expected to arrive in the next few days, after which air quality conditions should gradually improve.

Ah, there it is again - "Rain and snowfall are expected to arrive in the next few days, after which air quality conditions should gradually improve". How much longer will China rely on Mother Nature? What if there's no rain/snowfall? Keep choking to death?

Yes, but I'm beginning to be rather fed up with people saying that China is going through the industrializing phase, and so we have to accept that it will take time etc.... China is not "going through a lot of maturing in a very short time that the rest of the world did over centuries." It didn't take centuries, at least not in most places. Almost nowhere was industrialized until recently.
