Our friends of the U.S, Embassy have now started to include ozone figures in their AQI measurements.
Looks not too bad as for now. In the past days air quality was reasonable, with several good days and only a few bad days.
The Beijing officials have lots to learn from BeijingAir, or maybe not. They just want to continue with their fake figures to make us feel happy. I even don’t bother anymore to download their daily tables.
Sad that as a general rule, you can’t trust any figures (or news) from the government here. As the Chinese say “you can’t even trust the weather report”.
Of course we all know the Internet is free, the Constitution guarantees free speech, the authorities control the melamine in the milk, no government hacking, etc. etc. etc. Ad nauseum.
So, feel free to go check BeijingAir on Twitter. Good luck!
