As a correspondent for the Atlantic, James Fallows took many similar shots, documenting Beijing’s air quality during the run up to the Beijing Games. (See his more optimistic take on Beijing’s air pollution here, or a more humorous take here.)
When does the blue sky countdown for the Asian Games in Guangzhou begin?
