An old problem that never been given an attention by the Chninese government. Thought it is not an issue to them as no measures adopted yet by their government to counter this pollution problem. Hope these smog will only settle at their door steps and not spread to other countries near them.

Look hard: increasingly a major political and military force in this region. It's now paying the price of unbridled and corrupt development. Thailand should proceed cautiously in its relationship with China. It's now looking to other countries as toxic dump sites.
