I just left Beijing. I was also in Zhengzhou and I could breathe okay. My WIFE is Chinese from mainland China. I love the Chinese people HOWEVER I do not like IGNORANT people from ANY country. My wife even has problems with Beijings air and she is Chinese.Every country has its faults and China is NOT the exception to the rule..and neither is the USA.Take Care.
