No blue skies in Beijing as the Chinese capital chokes on smog during a key political meeting
Beijing residents who are putting up with extra security checks and traffic restrictions this week for the annual meeting of the country's lawmakers are doing so without the usual compensation of glorious blue skies.
The Chinese capital was choking on smog Tuesday morning, even as the city's environment bureau said an orange air pollution warning issued over the weekend was due to be lifted as the situation improved. An orange alert, the second-highest on the city's four-tier system, advises elderly people and children to remain indoors.
— Pak Yiu March 4, 2019 In 2015, after a major military parade in Beijing enjoyed clear blue skies, it took less than 24 hours for the city to be enveloped once again in a choking gray smog. This week's pollution will be particularly embarrassing for Beijing's government, as it has actually seen a marked progress in recent years in terms of tackling smog, with numerous measures taken to cut down on pollutants.
