China Air Pollution – Hong Kong
Air pollution is becoming a major problem in China. China has been creating a lot air pollutants affecting its neighbouring countries. Hong Kong which has not much industrial activities has been affected very badly by the pollution created in China. Smog becomes very common during winter as the wind carries a lot of pollutants, including nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxided, carbon monoxide, and ozone from the north (China).
The short film was taken at around 8 am on May 7 2007 which was a Monday morning. There had been virtually no activities going on in Hong Kong but still pollutants were blown from Mainland China to Hong Kong.
The major cause of pollution in Guangdong is believed to be power generation. The Mainland Chinese Communist government has been unable to control power generation by illegal power plants using low quality coal probably without any filtering. The Mainland Chinese Communist government has said repeatedly that it will reduce pollution; however, there is strong evidence that air pollution is increasing rather than reducing! Hong Kong is the victim of Mainland China’s economic growth.

In China, 80% of …
In China, 80% of the population are farmers. BTW, China has surpassed the U.S. as the number 1 emitter of carbon dioxide.
The amount of nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and ozone produced by China have been at least 3-4 times more. Just look at some satellite images.
To protect the world from further environmental damage, It is more important for China than for any other country to sign the Kyoto!

YOu make a good point. There is so much evil in this country; and not because of the poor souls unfortunate enough to be born there, but because of the corruption and greed of those at the top, the way it always has been, and always will be.

starve someone, rob them, then kick them till they’re down, and then some more, then laugh at them for doing what it can for 1/6 the world’s population.. till they’re back to the stone ages, then extend charity concerts like the african brothers are surely enjoying now..
and so payback will come, and when light taps mature into forceful bangings, you would be able to do nothing but say “ooo china, ohhh china, keep it coming, faster, faster, faster…ahhhhhhhh…yes china yes yes yes..”

The pollution depends on wind direction. As a matter a fact, I just shot another video today!
There is air pollution from Mainland in winter but not in summer because of the wind direct.
