"Ten years ago, China’s capital was often covered in dense yellow and gray
smog, so thick it shrouded nearly everything from view.
People locked their windows, donned face masks and cranked air purifiers on
high to escape what became known as Beijing’s “air-pocalypse.”
The air quality was so bad, and became so globally infamous, that Chinese
leaders launched a multibillion-dollar “war against pollution.”
A decade on, those efforts are paying dividends. China’s pollution levels in
2021 had fallen 42% from 2013, according to a new report released Tuesday,
making it a rare success story in the region, where pollution is getting worse
in some parts, including South Asia."
