We're All in This Together, Comrades
It's good to know Beijing has a transparent, sustainable environmental policy.
With Beijing struggling to clear polluted skies before the Olympics in August, the nearby industrial port of Tianjin has ordered 40 factories to suspend some operations for two months as part of a broader effort to improve air quality during the Games, state media reported.
The planned shutdowns in Tianjin, about 110 kilometers, or 70 miles, southeast of Beijing, are one piece of a regional plan that is expected to bring temporary factory closures or slowdowns across a large swath of northern China during the Games. As yet, few details are known about exactly which factories might close, or when, so the announcement in Tianjin offers a window into one aspect of the plan.
What's next? No Chinese allowed in Beijing for two months?
