One of my customers regularly goes to China and he told me that when he was there last year (sorry I do not remember which city he was in) he could not see the sun. The whole sky was greyish brown but it was brighter in one area so he knew that was the position of the sun.

Two weeks ago when flying on business, I was seated beside a commercial pilot that flys to China, Hong Kong, etc on a regular basis. He said that it is quite normal to not be able to see the ground until down to just a few hundred feet. He said the air polution is almost like brown fog in many areas.

I have heard that the west coast of the both Canada and the US are now monitoring air pollution that is coming all the way across the Pacific Ocean. It isn't hard to figure out why Wal Mart can sell for less.
