More than 20 million people woke last week to a thick, acrid, and noxious smog that settled densely across the Indian capital.
Because India is less autocratic than China. Next!
When you definitely know what autocratic means.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocracy
Autocracy is a system of government in which absolute power is held by the ruler, known as an autocrat. It includes most forms of monarchy and dictatorship, while it is contrasted with democracy and feudalism.
That checks out.
We’re talking about China and not the US here bud. Nice try though, keep exposing yourself as an utter clown.
Do you consider it normal that a mere dictionary citation triggers such a violent, unhinged and irrelevant response?
Do you consider it normal to spend your time doing obvious trolling? Kind of hilarious that a person who has an urge to jump into a thread to spread misinformation would talk about violent, unhinged and irrelevant response. Seems like you’re doing a bit of projecting there bud.
Who is trolling here? Who is posting uninformative comments? Mine were on topic, yours jumped on my neck with insults. It’s your right to disagree with what I have to say, though none of what you posted here has any argumentative value.
The fact that you think your comment was on topic is really the cherry on the cake here. Perhaps you really don’t realize you’re a troll.
You seem to have mis-read my comment. I did not say that China was an autocracy, I said that it was more autocratic than India - there’s a huge difference.
That’s still a completely baseless assertion as I’ve explained in detail down in this thread.
China is a dictatorship, the government decides to do something, no choice but to do it.
India is a democracy, government’s got to convince everyone, including the powerful and moneyed that the thing they want to do is worth it.
LMFAO the only people who call China a dictatorship are racist weirdos from the west who couldn’t find China on the map. Here’s what people actually living in China have to say https://web.archive.org/web/20230511041927/https://6389062.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6389062/Canva images/Democracy Perception Index 2023.pdf
Don’t be ridiculous, the opinions of the citizens of other countries don’t matter! What really matters is how I, the enlightened Westerner feel about it based off of what my country’s state media tells me! Chinese people don’t know what they really want, which is a new cold war egged on by dangerous hoaxes and sinophobia!
Given the massive downvotes, it’s pretty clear this is what a lot of people here think completely unironically.

As far as I understamd they just moved the factories and cole power plants further away from Bejing.
So the smoke isn’t where most people live? Seems like a good idea.
Yes it is until you realize that the smoke/pollution can go jut about anywhere: water, soil, rain, food sources etc.
It is like idk moving a problem some where else it isn’t actualy solving that problem. smh
One problem at a time.
Because corporate profit means more than people. Now that China isn’t ‘the economy the world is based on’ - their production is down AND their pollution is down.
