Who are you going to believe—a government official or your own stinging eyes?

Our publisher Russ Pratt and editorial director Karen Field just returned from China and report that the pollution in Beijing is pretty intense. They might be mistaken, according to a piece in today’s Wall Street Journal Asia titled “The Beijing Sky Is Blue.” The article quotes Du Shaozhong, the deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Environment Protection Bureau, as saying pollution levels should be based on measurements, not the color of the sky. Be that as it may, the article says that “according to its own statistics, Beijing has missed its pollution targets for four of the past seven days.”
Here are a couple of other recent China-related posts. Paul Rako in "Anablog" presents a model press release from B&H King Mold in Shenzhen. The company’s marketing engineer, Paul says, understands better than many PR professionals want type of information editors want.
On a more serious note, Melissa D'Amico in "Pioneering Engineering" describes large infrastructure projects in China, including the world’s longest sea-crossing bridge.
