I knew that pollution in China was getting bad but the scenes in the second link are terrifying. It looks like video from a forest fire.
Is it time for the world to intervene?
This isn't real news as the pollution levels are on and off at dangerous levels in China all the time. The pollution is usually higher during the winter months due to the use of coal for heating.
What drove the movement of manufacturing jobs from the US to China was the strict environmental laws in the US and the lack of them in China, now they are going to pay for it with the health of their citizens.
So you think labor cost played no part? The truth is that labor cost in US was largely driven by the world situation post WWII. Much of the world capacity destroyed. Rapid explosion of manufacturing always as had pollution along with the growth.
