Speaking of China

The BBC is reporting that morning in Beijing currently looks like this:


Makes me want to cough just looking at it.

And how bad is the air quality?  Spectacularly bad:
Beijing's environmental agency said that as of 11:00 local time (03:00 GMT), the PM2.5 reading - which measures pollution in the form of small breathable particles - was 500 micrograms per cubic metre.

The WHO says the maximum safe level should be 25 micrograms per cubic metre.
