If the smog was only like the image from OP, it'll be not too bad.
In fact, it is much worse... I think selling masks will be a big market opportunaty for the next decade or so.

The saving grace is that the problem has been recognized and efforts are underway to correct it.

I think there's more than enough pictures available to support the mayor's premise:

Google Image Search Beijing Pollution

once upon a time... okay I say nothing, but after the air fog, one day it will be the light pollution, so that again sometimes the stars are as they once w(h)ere.  . If only the Americans and mostly their enemies could settle their problems peacefully... it would take less time.

Hard to imagine where head of the country/party leaders live and work there.
Hopefully next time I won't be dispatched to Beijing for business.
