None of that contradicts what I wrote. Yeah any city in China has a **** ton of people, and? Xi'an is still polluted af and everywhere you go there are people behaving in the most uncivilised manner. When Japan has air pollution (which is very rare), it basically all comes from China.
According to you perhaps.
North China is not as polluted as before, due to the policy to cut the use of coal and so on.
But continental cities are always more likely to be polluted than island cities, other things being equal. The monsoon climate of East Asia makes it worse in winter too.
I know you Taiwanese worship Japan like worshiping god. But the truth is Japanese cities look outdated already. They are full of box-shaped concrete buildings. Taipei is worse, of course.
Chinese cities are getting much better every year.

Right.
I guess you just have lower standards.

Winter is always the worst time. Why don't you check summer.
And how does it have anything to do with the topic of this thread? I know you don't miss any chance to attack China but at least find some relevancy.
Rome is one of the most polluted cities in Europe too (yes I have been there). But it tends to be worse in summer so it is not that obvious.
Do you know the first pic is a village, not even a city? How many villages in Taiwan look better than that? LOL
This is Taipei:

It isn't. Milan is. Rome is not particularly polluted.
Milan is worse but Rome is also quite polluted according to European standards, so is Paris.
They are both more polluted than London, Madrid, Berlin and so on.
However obviously the OP is not asking about pollution.

They are more polluted than some other cities, but compared to China their air is fresh af (though Paris and Rome smell terrible as the streets are dirty as ****).
When a city is that polluted it's impossible to find it "timeless" or "elegant".

The same street as in your pic:
I don't see anything timeless or elegant here. It looks artificial, and the sky probably only looks like that 2.5 months out of 12 every year.

This is the center of the city, not designed to be the most "elegant" part but a business part.
