YEP they are gonna blame the US eventually for something. I live in washington state, baby blue skies here!

@bomberfun1 As if the US isn't partly to blame for this... I don't think you have any education on this at all.

@FuckHuJinTao The reason that Hong Kong is very polluted is because there is no regulation to prevent it and no high tax to clean it up. A communist system would be able to do both of these things.

Fail.

chinese parasites!!!! breathe your smog, bastards, you created it with your 1.5 billion useless people that Chinese government values no more than 1 dollar each.

wow your racist.. EVERYONE is obsessed with things and if a car can get them from a to b they will buy one, if a garbage is one step closer than a recycle bin, they'll use the garbage, no responsibility, the main thing people need to do is just have 1 or 2 kids per family. population control should be taught in schools as the only way to have a sustainable world but people think that having 5 or 10 or 18 kids is just filling the world with goodness, news flash: WERE RUNNING OUT OF FUCKEN ROOM!

please do more smog so they can be choked and finally cease the smog creation. chinese are like insects, they overdo anything and just about everything.

Try HK summer with pollution. It's unbearable. HK government has loads of reserves, they should do something about  the pollution, help the citizens.

China, and India and other developing countries need to start to produce more cleaner and plentiful greener energy soon even in the midst of their industrial revolutions or else smog will create even more environmental and health problems than we see face today

I use to drive locally in LaCa we were on the east side one day and you could barely breathe. You have illegals all over that area and the illegals take all the pollution control off of their cars. It burns your eyes and you have difficulty breathing when I was a kid in Louisiana I would see on the news about La smog but when you see the diffenence up close it makes you sick. And the cars just keep comming all day all night. Every day vroom for what they could find a better way to get to work.
