If the air is really that bad in China why do all the enviro-nazis want India, China, and Mexico virtually exempted from any pollution restrictions and the entire burden placed on the US economy? Maybe it’s not about the environment after all.

Actually, people (Chinese and foreigners alike) where surgical masks all the time in Chinese cities. This is due to both pollution and to prevent the spread of disease. Just a few months ago when I came through Hong Kong I was actually encouraged by the authorities to wear a mask. The masks are usually not as stylish as the super cool darth vader ones worn by the cyclists though. If I could find one of those I would wear it everyday. Had this happened three months ago it would not have been an issue at all.
