PRIVILEGED AIR: CHINA NOW

POLLUTION
FOR THE
PEOPLE
IN THE PEOPLE'S
REPUBLIC OF CHINA


NATURAL AIR FILTERS
IN THE GREAT HALL OF THE PEOPLE
BEIJING, CHINA

The news is out: "Creating clean, healthy air for our national leaders is a blessing to the people." So, according to the New York Times, says the Broad Group, which markets air-purifying machines to members of the Chinese political elite. Those machines are reported to be found in the Great Hall of the People (above, and here and here and here) and in that sanctum sanctorum, Zhongnanhai -- think White House or the Kremlin (see here and here).

Some of the laobaixing -- the common people, or at least those that "microblog" on Sina Weibo -- are revolting.
