More interestingly, I found the country to be far more capitalist than the United States. But, that's all from personal, first hand experience.
Before I beat you with the facts, let me make sure of your arguments: You are suggesting that your "personal" visit constitutes better evidence of the presence, or lack thereof, of pollution in China and because I have never been there, your personal experience trumps the FACTS I am about to beat you with? Is that your argument?

This is how absurd your argument is: I visited London and Paris a couple of years ago and the air was clear it was always sunny and fairly hot; therefore, based on this “experience” it must always be hot and sunny in Paris and London.
